Because admittedly, I don't have many (3 servers up and running a Linux distro and a few desktops and laptops). But I do have a gig of bandwidth thanks to the lovely folks at Paxio.net who run fiber to our homes.
The company that created it touted how it ran Linux, tried to rally the open source programming troops because it ran Linux, but never bothered to give it the ability to actually *SYNCH* with Linux.
I hope this does not happen with the uber cool Sharp Zaurus.
I had an idea and I wonder what people think of it. Ok, I have two.
1. I want to make a hardcore anti MS page full of illegal comments (slander, libel, whatever), make it with FrontPage, put the Made my Frontpage logo on it and then send a link to MS stating "HI, I found a web page disparriaging MS and it was made with FrontPage.. and I think I made it."
2. I want to make a web site with FrontPage praising the business practices of MS as quite fair, hippy-esque, etc. BUT trash their software as pure garbage, second rate, etc. Then of course, report it to MS.
I wonder how long a cease and desist letter would take to arrive in the mail?
A repost.
actually, some m100s have flash roms, others have mask roms. the way to tell is to get info on the m100 and look for a flash id. if it has one, then you have a flash rom and you can upgrade. otherwise, you have one without a flash rom. as far as i know, it is completely random as well. you either have a flash rom unit or you don't.

If you are running the Palm Vx, it has a faster Motorola CPU than any other Palm / Handspring devices. The Vx sports a Motorola Dragonball EZ running at 20mhz. Just about every other model runs the EZ at 16mhz.
A few things.
1. 3Com doesn't own Palm. They have stock in Palm and Palm foolishly wasted lots of money on 3Com land for their new HQ, but they are separate entities.
2. FlashROM. When I'm running PalmOS 4, Visor people will be stuck in the past.
3. Web clipping. I own both a 7 and 5x. I must admit that I use the 7 a lot to check stock, read news and check email. This product is really geared towards professionals who need this kind of connectivity. For the common geek, there is the IIIe, m100 and the Visor line. The 45$ all you can eat program is actually a decent deal especially with the amount that I use it. It was worse for me financially when they didn't have this pricing scheme in place.
4. Palm has also already announced a Palm that will allow upgrade slots much like the Visor, but it will be based upon an industry standard - not a proprietary company standard.
Finally, I find it humorous that Jeff & Donna even made the Visor. Back when they were at Palm, it was suggested by someone on the engineering staff to make a Palm with a slot for expandability. Jeff quickly shot it down stating that it went against the Zen of Palm and that it wasn't the right time. Shortly afterwards, he and Donna split and made Handspring. Funny, isn't it?
Internally, there were blue Palm Vs that only people who were on the Palm V team received. People around Palm were very jealous of the cool devices and some people who had them were asked not to show them off at work. Since they were obviously so cool, it's about time that they offered them up for the people of the world to buy.
>The speedup of the HotSync time by using USB instead of serial is negligible. My serial sync takes about 1.5 minutes, downloading of four fairly large AvantGo channels over dialup included. On the other hand, USB synchronizing is not supported under Windows 2000, and may be flakey elsewhere. The serial cradles are extra.
Is this because you might be using a Palm USB adapter (aka Zodiac)? The USB adapter that Palm ships does not take advantage of the speed that USB 1.1 offers. It is still relegated to the slow 115k at best.
Re:Palm.Com changed twice so far today

The new Palm VIIx

ModusMedia who runs the online store has had some issues. I have a friend that works at Palm on their web sites and he told me that they have screwed Palm out of about 75k worth of sales due to the downtime of their servers. They were up very shortly and about 37 orders came in within those few minutes.
It looks like the Palm store is now running, but it is pretty slow.

Someone forgot to mention that bands really make their money off of touring.
This device bothered me.
