This entry really doesn’t have anything to do with gadgets, but I’ll post it anyway. I’ve decided to try to convert over to Linux. While in Comdex I picked up a free copy of Caldera’s OpenLinux 2.2. I’m having problems getting it to install. It actually installs fine but no matter what video setups I […]

I spent last week in Chicago going to Comdex and PDA Expo. I took my Libretto 50 with me to write the reports and manipulate photos from my digital camera. It worked amazingly well. By the end of the first report, I was actually touch typing on it at a decent speed. Although I do

Hi Gadgetfans. Just wanted to update you on a few things since I haven’t written here in awhile. 1. I am loving my Palm V 8meg upgrade from EFIG.com Their workmanship on my personal unit was terrific and I have seen no change at all in battery consumption. 2. I’ll be at Comdex and PDA

Well, as you’ve noticed, I’m doing a little changing to the site. Nothing major, just a little sprucing here and there. Let me know what you think. Do you hate it? Like it? Don’t care? Do you have any better ideas? I’m open to suggestions….

I’ve been beta testing software that will allow you to listen to audio books on your PSPC. One word… WOW. This is a great application for these little machines. The only real problem is that the data takes up quite a bit of memory on the PSPC. Glad compact flash cards are getting cheaper!

I’m switching over to the Palm V and am wondering how I’m going to manage with only 2mb of ram compared to the 8mb that I had previously on my Palm III. I guess it is time to be more conservative with the programs I install. I sure wish the Palm V had a compact

Well, I’ve got a little behind schedule with the Psion Series 5 review… I hope to have it posted soon. As well as a review of the Royal DaVinci PDA. Also look for a return contests!

I nice new Psion Series 5 arrived on my doorstep yesterday. I love new toys! 🙂 Look for an in-depth review within 2weeks or so.

01/03/99 Changed my preferred case to the E&B Slipper w/clip for my Palm III.

01/02/99 Happy New Year everyone! For 1999, I hope to continue to bring you the kind of reviews that you want to read, free contests and lots of great gadget info! If you have ideas on how I can make The Gadgeteer better for 1999 please don’t hesitate to let me know.

Well, Santa has come and gone… How many of you got the gadgets that you asked for? 🙂

I took my Newton MP2000 with me to a family Christmas gathering this past weekend. It sure came in handy with keeping a 13yr old boy and 6yr old girl occupied. They had never seen a Newton before and figured out how to use it very quickly. They both kept fighting over who could play

12/10/98 I haven’t been keeping up on this diary lately have I? I’ve been busy like everyone else with the holidays coming up. I have been working on an RPG PalmPilot game comparison review so all you gamers out there, look for that review to be coming up soon. It’s amazing the high quality games

The Christmas shopping season is upon us and I thought it would be fun to know what everyone is asking Santa for – gadgetwise. Send me your wish list and I’ll post them.

Hello Gadgeteers. I’ve been a little busy lately and haven’t written on this page. I’m working on a couple reviews that should be posted within the week. Look for a comparison review of database programs for the PalmPilot and a review of Delorme’s Earthmate GPS system for the PalmPilot or laptop.

11/04/98 If there is any doubt that I’m a total gadget/computer maniac, read on 🙂 This weekend I bought a new guitar (Collings 0002-H). As soon as I got home, I started looking for guitar programs for my Palm III and PC. I wasn’t content to just play my new guitar, I had to also

10/28/98 A couple people responded to my question the other day about female gadgeteers. Check out their comments… It is interesting that the respondents were all male. I’ve still not heard from any women on this subject.

I just received a Pilot clip on modem the other day. I loaded Proxiweb on it. Proxiweb is an EXCELLENT web browser for the PalmPilot / Palm III. This software is very fast even at 14.4k. I think it’s faster than my 400mhz Dell desktop and 56k modem! These guys should write a PC browser!

10/24/98 I started wondering today why women in general aren’t Gadgeteers. Why is that? Am I the only true female Gadgeteer? Send me an email if you are one or disagree with me.

10/22/98 Guess what showed up in my mailbox yesterday? The Earthmate Delorme GPS receiver that works with Palm OS PDAs! I can’t wait to start playing with it. Look for a review of it and a mapping software review roundup soon. Found out that Money Manager (one of my software picks) is now commercial. You
