    try a palmphone. using eudora web, parses most plain html VERY WELL

    and here I'll relate one time it worked as a lifesaver
    picture this admitted stupidity, dealing with INS, getting an appointment letter, driving to Newark NJ to get there at 4-5am (the reccomended per usenet forum time to arrive at newark for date scheduled but not hour scheduled appointments)
    and in standing on the corner of a nasty area of downtown newark, reviewing the letter, realize your ass needs to be in Cherry Hill NJ on this date..

    I've been to newark/ny many times,
    and been to cherry hill/philadelphia many times, never went from one to the other... no problem, whip out kyocera 6035, write in maps.yahoo.com/dd and get excellent directions, and still arrive at cherry hill at the correct time (7am) to be 2nd in line.. (idiocy just cut 4 hours of sleep and 200 miles off car...)

  17. its HARD to find the free player on NPR's Car Talk Dumping RealMedia · · Score: 1
    I don't agree with #1, it's not that bad
    from the home page I experimented.

    type in real.com- click "download real player" mid home page
    on the page that opens, 2/3rds of the left side are for the premium player, flashy and obvious
    and the right 1/3rd is in non-vibrant grey on grey and says clearly this is where you download the free player. and opens another page

    I really think this is a reasonable amount of webnavigation and clarity to download the free player

    now, I agree real player sucks, for all the other reasons mentiioned, in this post and others,
    but I think the first item is unfair.
