  2. Re:What do I want on Palm IIIe Announced · · Score: 1

    But I wont be buying a PDA until it meets these criteria.

    So you want a laptop??? That isn't what I want. That isn't what the palm is trying to be. I want to be able to do simple stuff and be small enough that I WILL carry it with me wherever I go. Can you say that about any any laptop? No it is like carring a book around. You just don't do it. I have a real computer for that kinda stuff. So my question is what palm will best suit these simple needs, not how many things can it do.

    P.S. anyone looking to sell there PalmPro drop me a line.

  5. What do I want on Palm IIIe Announced · · Score: 2

    Ok I have been looking at these Palm's for a long time now. I have my computers at home. They do quite a bit. I tried using a daytimer a few years ago, but it just didn't work. I don't want a laptop, I want somthing that is an extension of my computer. Keep my appointments, let me take notes etc. Now that there is another Palm out there I am very confused. Here is what I am going to be doing with it.

    1) making appointments/scheduling
    2) writing quick e-mail (can i?)
    3) notes
    4) simple games

    I am a student in college and so it isn't mission critical or anything. Can someone tell me what you think I should get. What made me really ask this question is the fact that they call this the palm for students. When they label a product for certain people I double check it every time. I am a power user. I run linux, have a web server, three hubs (for 5 machines :-) you get the idea. Any info from people who are in simalar situations and have true stories etc would be very helpfull. Is the 2MB really worth it?

    P.S. sorry for my english

  8. Re:Triumph of the Nerds and Nerds 2.0.1... on Pirates of Silicon Valley · · Score: 1

    That is not what this movie is about. This movie is about the early days. There is an excelent book called hacker that goes from the early 60's to the late 70's with the hacker revolution. This story is what is told somewhat. (based upon another book not haker) So they did not need any of the windows stuff aat all to make it interesting, but hey I just watch them I don't make them.

  11. Re:Good idea but... on Prototype Hardware DVD Decodoer for Linux-needs help · · Score: 1

    Secondly, you don't get the AUDIO quality. I'm sorry but the latest and greatest stereo/subwoofer setup just doesn't REMOTELY compare to a real 5.1 home theater setup. In addition, unless you've got a DVD player/MPEG decoder card with "real" audio outputs, you can't even TRY to take advantage of real sound. You're stuck with crappy stereo, or, if you're lucky, Dolby Prologic. No comparison.

    And what do you think I have attached to my computer? After attaching my "real" stereo to my computer one day I have never looked back.

    Well it isn't just going to be a gaming system. They are hoping to make it a lot more. This means that Sony might make the PS2 be able to play DVD's out of the box if Nintendo is going to have a system 8 months down the line that does. This I hope is what will happen.
