I don't know, I have never used an E-Book program on it. But I imagine they do. But I still would have to make a conscious effort to press it, which detracts from the experience.
I completely agree with you about the scrolling. I prefer books, tho. I do read books online (I have a O'Reilly Safari Bookshelf subscription), but it is nothing like the real thing.
One advantage of books that I have not found on my Zire (hey, it was free, I won it in a contest) is that with books, the turning of pages is continuous, and many times, I have no idea when I turn the page when I am involved in a book. I just turn the pages instinctively, and I get incredibly annoyed if I have to scroll down to continue.
On the RAM side, most motherboards these days support 3-4GB of RAM. Mine right now supports 4GB; I run 1GB in it for now, and will be buying a second GB fairly soon.
With current 32-bit windows computers, the maximum amount of RAM that is possible is 2GB. You can't put any more in without going 64-bit. Unless you have a G5, Opteron, Sun, or SGI (which is not most motherboards), you can't have more than 2GB of RAM.
And little did they know that it was I who was hiding behind the shower curtain. When they came closer, I lurched out, breathing my AIDS-agitating bacteria in their faces. "Take that!" exclaimed I. But it was too late, they had already brought my replacement in.
If you send me the videos, I may be able to help you. In the past, I have been quite successful at identifying songs with little or no information about them.
I think you are referring to Kleenex and Xerox, I have never heard of Kodak being used as common usage. The same thing is currently happening to Google. Just Google(tm) it! It's both a good and a bad thing.
In light of the preceding article, I propose that we completely rewrite slashdot! In BASIC! This will provide unsurpassed slowness and crashing, making the world better for all!

Or, if written in MS word, you can only write a 3-sentence blurb for each person who ever lived.

I am posting with Safari which has about five windows open, each with about 20 tabs.

Would you believe that this is the 3rd time this has happened to me?

Too late. I have already filed for a patent.
Now I'm confused. Are you Walt Dismal or aren't you!
How utterly pointless.
483 is surprisingly similar to 384, isn't it?
Run!

Wow .. I'm sure glad that it is GPL compatible.
I don't know why, but I was just at the store and had this incredibly strange urge for some sort of chocolate drink.

What?! No hoards of killer rabbits? That ruins all of the fun!

That's not even funny anymore! From now on, you're #4 on my hit list, right after Elvis but before Hitler's Alien Baby.

You missed half the joke!
The other half is at Lore Brand Comics.
Yay!

I pay $40 for 384Kbps/3Mbps cable, but I often times get better download rates than that (My record is ~600KBps download)
