In New Zealand, we have 'Jetstream' which is our main telco's adsl service. Afaik, the speed ranges between a flatrate 128kbps service and 8Mbps downstream.
I disagree... when I bought my Psion 5, I tried out a series 3 at the same time. The keys on the series 3 keyboard were far too small, and it didn't feel like a proper keyboard.
On my series 5, I can touchtype.. not quite as fast as on an ordinary keyboard, but still fast enough. I couldn't do this on the series 3 or the siena that I tried.
I haven't had the chance to play with a revo, but the whole device looks far too small to be much good for quick typing.
I was "lucky" enough to install and muck around with a copy of NT5 Workstation Beta 1 (which in the later betas became Windows 2000). It required you to scroll down to the bottom, and then press F8 to get past the EULA. The later betas, and the Win2k final release didn't require this.
I'm 99% sure that you didn't have to with NT4 either... NT5 WS Beta1 was the only Microsoft program I've seen that behaved like that.
It's like Amazon's ridiculous patent on the "single-click shopping" idea...as if that's unique or even a paradigmatic concept. Is Netscape going to try and patent the Back button?
No, but I hear that AOL is patenting having a browser start page
Even so, my ancient old palm 3 runs through 2 alkaline AAA batteries in a couple of weeks, if I'm lucky. A friend has recently got a visor, and his batteries are lasting far longer than mine, even with his much higher clockspeed.
just my NZ$0.02 (which isn't worth very much at all at the moment!)

In Wellington, New Zealand, we have now have a cable service, Saturn, competing with New Zealand Telecom for telephone customers. Since the Saturn's prices were so much cheaper, Telecom lowered their prices in response, but only in the saturn-connected areas.
A street near where I live has saturn cable on one side, but not the other, Telecom charges the people on the non-connected side of the street substatially more for their telephone service than the people on the other side.

The traffic prices in $NZ are here.

does this look familiar?
ah ok. I only ever installed NT4 once =)
and that was a while ago.
I stand corrected.

I'm positive I've seen something like this before. It can't have worked very well - I heard about it once and then nothing more
I've got no idea what is was called though );
Ah well
