IIRC, you'd need an adapter, since the PalmIII series came with serial cradles only.

In terms of form factor I want it to be like the old eMate...Basic text editing and internet applications...A decent enough screen for reading and writing...about 1-2 lbs...And some basic calendar and address book software that syncs to my computer would be nice too; again PalmOS has most of what I would need here
Sounds to me like the Alphasmart Dana is what you're looking for.
Going forward, we need a sea change which will, at the end of the day prohibit anyone from saying "think outside the box" ever again. Anything less than the death penalty would just be rearranging the deck chairs.
I personally liked the Music classes. Theory is really easy if you can divide by 3 and 4 and count to 12, and you meet some really cool chicks there
As a former Music Theory major, I can say that theory classes are not easy. (Although, since music theory is a lot of math you might disagree.) But I do agree about female music majors. Especially piano majors -- they have the most amazingly dexterous hands...
I spent yesterday afternoon looking for a free copy of the score to William Walton's Belshazzar's Feast. No luck. Your sites seem to be good for smaller works, but for the kind of large-scale choral and orchestral music I'm looking for I still have to go retail.
When you purchase classic sheet music what you are really paying for is the actual printing and distribution process. That's why classical music is generally so much less expensive than copyrighted works
Less expensive? Wha...? I had to buy a new copy of Dvorak's Stabat Mater last spring -- cost me $35 for just the choral score. I'd hate to think what the conductor's score cost. I'll probably have to get a new copy of Orfee for a performance next May, and since it's going to be a French edition it ain't going to be cheap. (Durand tend to be even more expensive than Peters, and that's saying something.)
Oh, and who says classical music (as opposed to Classical music) isn't copyrighted? Tell John Corigliano about that. Hell, even Classical scores can be copyrighted -- a particular piece edited by a particular editor, for example. (Like the Novello score for Messiah edited by Watkins Shaw, which, granted, is Baroque and not Classical, but you get my drift anyway.)
It's not a very good movie, either. I've never seen so much ammo used up (not even in Saving Private Ryan, it seems). Plus you never do actually see Pacino and DeNiro together in the same shot -- in the diner they constantly cut back and forth, and at the end who the hell knows who's lying on the ground?
obTopic... I usually get at least 4 hours on my Thinkpad T23, but I don't watch DVDs or play games on it, nor do I go wireless.
Ah, the irony of complaining about a band "ripping off" a Led Zeppelin song.... LZ was all about taking old blues songs and turning them into rock-n-roll. Which was a *good* thing, IMHO
IMHO, too.
As is the song "Bullet the Blue Sky," IMHO
Me, not so much.
Commercial radio can run even a good song into the ground by overplaying. Of course, it usually sticks to bad songs to overplay....
Amen, brother! When my wife & I are driving down the Jersey Shore every Saturday with WPLJ on we take bets on how many times we'll hear a particular song before we get there (or on the way back). It's become a family joke. (I'd much rather be listening to K-rock or WFUV, but there you go.)
Yes, until the Beatles came along. They didn't tour after 1966. And they managed to make some fairly good records in the studio. I'd venture to say they enjoyed doing so as well. I certainly enjoy the product of those efforts
As do I, but I think you've misunderstood what I said in my parent post:
the album was cut as a remembrance of the live show
Note that I did not say "it was a recording of the live show". Until the Beatles (and others) stopped recording albums after touring in the '60s, the album was more of an afterthought, to keep bands in peoples' memories until the next tour. The '60s changed that formula, with bands doing the record first and touring to kick up sales of said record.
I think many of the bands of old got their inspiration FROM touring and the road.
Amen, brother! Used to be that the album was cut as a remembrance of the live show, rather than the live show trying to reproduce the album. And when's the last time you heard of a musician who got into playing out of a love for the studio?
On the Newton, you could enter 'lunch with Mariah' and the Newton would connect the name with that person's entry in the address book. 10 years later, my Palm still can't do that. Nor can my PC
Actioneer has been available for Palm for ages, and now I see there's a desktop version as well.
What timeframes are we looking at for the current Jeopardy episodes? These certainly aren't being taped for same-day or next-day broadcast, are they?
When I passed the test and was placed in the contestant pool for last season, they told me that they film from August through March, 5 episodes a day each on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Since we're almost up to the new filming season, I'd guess that these episodes were filmed last March.
(BTW, the bastards never called me so I wasn't ever actually on the show. But I was ready, dammit!)
You can't just type "excel" because excel.exe is not in the path, and it's considered bad form on Windows to pollute up the path for every installed app.
But you can type "start excel" which uses shell extensions in the registry to find and launch the executable. This works for most apps with modern installers.
I just tried both on my XP box -- typing "excel" worked, typing "excel.exe" worked, but typing "start excel" did not work.
Then again, works which repeat motifs tend to be more effective than works that go on without reiterating anything
So the "Ring" cycle (probably the ultimate use of motifs to, as you put it, "slam the point home") is more effective than, say, "Boris Godunov" or "Aida"? Personal preference, I suppose, but I'd say not.
the aeron is the most comfortable chair ever. i don't have an aeron at work, but i have one at home - and i miss it dearly when in the office (and there i have a $1000 Leap chair that simply can't compare to the aeron).
My experience is exactly the opposite -- I forced the office to take away the Aeron and buy me a Leap. The Aeron left my shoulders hurting, my legs hurting, and my pants shredded (that mesh is like a cheese grater). The Leap's lumbar fits me better to boot. Frankly, the Leap is so comfy I think I'll take a nap now.
if there had been the technology to record not just the notes, but the actual sound, back when Beethoven and Mozart were composing - would we really remember the composers? Or would we remember the Brandenburg Orchestra's masterful 1781 performance of the Pastoral Symphony?
Good question. (I won't quibble over the date, despite the fact that Ludwig would have been only 11 then; while he was a prodigy he wasn't that good. It took him until 1808 to write #6.) I think we'd remember it, but (as you put it) it wouldn't
cause all memory of that composition to adhere to the performer.
There was an album many years ago which gathered together 40 versions of "Di quella pira" from Verdi's Il Trovatore. ("1 Aria! 40 Tenors! 80 High Cs!") None of the recordings made me, or anybody else who's heard them, forget that Verdi wrote it, despite the presence of some pretty heavy hitters (Caruso - twice - , etc.). If it's good music, we'll remember the composer. If not, well, we won't.
Your username reminded me ("I am no man" is a quote (Virgil) from Dante's Inferno
Glad to see somebody's paying attention. (Although I was referencing an old Monkees episode when I create the screen name.)
Beethoven didn't play his 5th symphony.
It sort of requires more than one musician to do, after all. He relied on another musician, just like modern musicians rely on drum machines (in some cases).
But Beethoven conducted that orchestra himself, thus "playing" it as his instrument. My original point was that we wouldn't remember, say, J.S. Bach if he hadn't occasionally written music. His primary occupation was as a working church musician -- primarily an organist and choirmaster. Heck, much as it pains me to say this, nobody will remember Andres Segovia in 300 years because he was a performer and not a composer. (OK, he did write a few little etudes, but nothing significant. Or even very good.) People remember the composers and writers, not the performers and actors. Does anybody remember von Bulow as a conductor? Only because he was a writer too. (Oh, and there was that little thing with his wife and that composer guy...what was his name...Wagger, Waggoner, aha! Wagner.)
DateBk5 will allow you to link up contacts with appointments, but I haven't run across an application on the desktop that recognizes those links
Someone mentioned it above: Agendus for Palm OS and Agendus for Windows. (Or sync to ACT!.) I've been happily using this combination for several years and I'm quite happy with it. And the new version of Agendus allows multiple attendees at meetings.
Someone else mentioned that the newest version of the Palm Desktop also allows or multiple addresses per contact as well.
Bear in mind that no matter which desktop piece you choose to display you'll still have to have the standard Palm Desktop installed on your computer since Hotsync is part of that. The only times I ever go into Palm Desktop are to import new pictures into the Palm Photos applet and to print off a copy of my expenses.
Beethoven and Mozart also didn't play their own music, you'll note
Huh? Whose music did they play then? They weren't only composers -- they were renowned as performers as well. (As were most of the people we think of as "The Great Composers" nowadays.)

I'd put it in the top 200, not nearly as good as, oh, Warren Zevon's Sentimental Hygiene or Hendrix's Electric Ladyland.
Sitting in front of the tube with a clicky pen, basically. (That's what they told us at the practice session after the test.)
