It doesn't seem to want to deal with text files (there is no import feature for the Palm Desktop notepad or memo pad, for example)
Dude, I just opened Palm Desktop and used the File | Import... command (had to change the "Files of type..." dropdown to.txt, but c'mon) to import a text file into the Memos app. Granted, it broke the doc into a couple of separate 4k files, but you can't say there's no import feature.
The only workarounds I've ever been able to come up with have been to do the old cut/paste for plain text
I just opened Palm Desktop and imported a text file into the Memos app directly -- no need to copy & paste anything. The only issue is that blasted 4k ceiling.
This implies that you're talking to someone named Jack about helping his uncle off a horse. Better to re-word the sentence into something like "Help your uncle Jack to dismount his horse."
My wife & I bought tickets for the first preview performance of Spamalot on 14 February. Yep, we're going to see it for Valentine's Day. I'm not expecting perfection from the first preview, but hey -- Tim Curry? David Hyde Pierce? Woo-effin'-hoo!
I had a T20 at home, and use a T23 at work. The T20 got hosed about three or four months ago, and I had thought that maybe my wife or I had accidentally contracted something that killed it. At around the same time, the T23's HD made a cool grinding noise like a coffee grinder, then the system completely died. (The same thing happened to a couple of other people in the office too, one with another T23, one with a T40.)
The work machine's hard drive was replaced, so that one's back up & running fine. I replaced the machine at home with an iBook 14" and haven't looked back.
If you can judge by the presence of iPods in New York City (and you can't), you'd think there are no other MP3 players on the market. Everyone has an iPod here, to the point where it looks lame, too much of a fashion statement for my taste
I disagree. Sure, there are lots of iPods in NYC. But I see just as many people with flash players, and in the past week I've seen three people with what I think are Dell Digital Jukeboxes. (Maybe it's because I ride the A?)

Turn on UPN or the WB any day of the week...
You obviously don't watch either WB or UPN on Tuesdays. 8pmET on WB is Gilmore Girls, 9pmET on WB is Veronica Mars -- which, along with Lost, is one of the two best new shows this season.
The electoral college ensures that Presidential candidates must address issues facing the entire country and not just those living in San Francisco, Dallas, New York City, etc.
Hmph. It'd be nice if this administration would address the issues we have here in NYC.
is there a legitimate reason for your only copy of any song to be exclusively stored on your iPod?
Well, aside from the obvious fact that if I've ripped the.AACs from my CDs then I have two copies of the songs (one on the CD, one on the iPod), I don't keep copies of the ripped songs on my iBook because I don't want to clutter my hard drive with files I'll never use -- to wit, the.AACs. (If I want to play the tunes, I'll play them on the iPod.)
First you take the written test. As others here have said, it's a tough 50-question test. While you used to have to get 35 or better correct, they've changed that, and now they don't say how many you have to get correct -- I think it changes based on how many people have passed in each city, but again, they're not talking.
I passed the written. Next, they took the people who passed the written test and played a mock game with us. It's fun! They give you hints on how to click the buzzer (and how not to click it -- don't slap it with your other palm, for example), and generally give you a good overview of what a real game is like.
Oh, and Alex doesn't come to the tryouts any more like he used to. We did get one of the Clue Crew, though.
I always recommend Filson...The craftsmanship is unmatched...Filson is never cheap, but it's always money well spent.
Hear, hear! Filson's stuff is much more expensive than your listed budget, but you'll have it forever. I've got two Filson coats (the old-style Shelter Cloth duster and a Tin Cloth Jacket) and two hats, and everything is tough as nails. I've been lusting after the #257 bag for a while -- maybe when I get my next tax refund I'll splurge on it.
If you're in Seattle, stop by the factory/store. It's out near Safeco Field. The people working there are terrific, and you can watch items being made in the back room.
As they say, Filson...might as well have the best.
writing "10:00 meeting with lab group 10/14" in the Assistant and getting the proper entry in your calendar just rocks!
The Palm has been able to do this for years. I remember Actioneer being available in 1998 when I was still running my first unit, a PalmPilot Personal, and it's still going strong. They've even come out with a desktop app.
When I'm wearing a suit or blazer, I use a long black leather breast-pocket wallet. It's thin and narrow (the width of credit cards turned sideways), has a clear window pocket where I keep my driver's license & car registration, has a long open slot for paper money, and eight or ten credit-card slots.
If I'm not wearing a suit coat but am going to work, I use a black leather tri-fold wallet that I bought in Florence last spring. It has a clear window in the center fold for my license, three card slots in each of the outside folds for credit cards, my ATM card, my MetroCard, and my PATH card, and a pocket behind the slots where I keep my work ID and a few business cards. The cash pocket tends to make paper money fold up weird, as someone above also noted, but I can deal with that. It folds up nice and small in my back pocket, and fits in my front pocket for when I'm on the subway during rush hour.
If I'm going to the beach or someplace low-rent, I have a bifold nylon wallet with a velcro closure that I got at Eastern Mountain Sports or some place like that. It's sort of oversized, and a really weird green color, but it works fine to carry cash, my license & registration, my ATM card, my MetroCard, and a few credit cards.
Maybe you're not a team player because people don't like how you calculate such retarded things out to two decimal places.
What, you don't remember the old "Ivory, it's ninety-nine and forty-four-one-hundredths-percent pure" commercials? Hell, I use 99.44% all the time. (Then again, I'm a Boring Old Fart.)
I just bought my first Mac a few weeks ago myself -- and also like you it was an iBook. For me, the biggest thing to get used to has been the different keystrokes. For instance, the [Delete] key on the Mac functions like the [Backspace] key on a PC. To duplicate the functionality of a PC's [Delete] key, I have to use [Fn]+[Delete] on the iBook as I haven't yet found the single-keystroke equivalent. Also, I haven't found the keyboard equivalent of [Alt] to access the menu, but that's probably because I haven't really looked too hard. Also, I tend to use [Ctrl]+[arrow] a lot to move word-by-word, and that's different on the Mac as well.
Other than that, it's a computer, so the transition hasn't been that difficult.

Whoops -- just noticed my mistake. Veronica Mars is on UPN at 9pmET, not WB. Doesn't change the sentiment, though.
That map was incomplete. It didn't show the Mountains of Madness.

East New York is actually in Brooklyn.
