Since you are concerned about RF absorption, you might look at Infrared. Some supermarkets are installing ceiling mounted sensors to track shopping carts and notify shoppers of "specials" near their location.
There was also this article published a while back:
If you have "Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting" set to "Disabled" the site won't load and you'll be told to use one of the browsers you've listed above. Even if you are using IE 6.
If you have the scripting parameter set to "Prompt", you'll get the standard pop-up:
"A script is accessing some software (an ActiveX control) on this page which has been marked safe for scripting. Do you want to allow this?"
OK, I should have said "it requires scripting of ActiveX controls if you are using IE".
Actually, my preferred browser is links. Works really well with pine:-)
Thanks Hatless; I agree with the points you raised.
The problem is that Palm Desktop, prior to version 4.1, did not replace tabs with spaces in memos, and I came to rely upon this feature. I started using it for expense tracking (back in 1996) since the Palm expense application was so brain dead.
So I have all these saved memos that are actually nicely formatted and quite readable (only 4 tabbed columns, admittedly) that get corrupted if I look at them in PD 4.1.
I realize that I could convert all this stuff to small spreadsheets. I would appreciate your recommendation on which one you'd recommend. I'm still using a Vx, which didn't come with any spreadsheet software.
One thing about memopad is that it's space efficient--tabs only take up one character. I have several hundred memos at this point, and have assumed that converting these to tiny spreadsheets would cause them to balloon.
BTW, I do use my Palm as a tiny PC. I use everything from telnet to VNC on it:-)
There are problems with Palm Desktop, too.
If you do end up importing small text files into the memo pad, you'll find that Palm Desktop will corrupt them. Just opening a memo in Palm Desktop will replace any tab characters in the memo with spaces. So if you later try to export the memo to a tab delimited spreadsheet, you're hosed.
It's also practically impossible to report bugs to Palm (either half). You're treated like an idiot by their outsourced support group (if you can even get them to understand that you are reporting a bug) and then nothing is ever fixed.
In the header for this topic, are you sure you didn't mean to say
"...an ability to recover from security failures..."
rather than
"...no ability to recover from security failures..."?

If you OK it, you'll see the map.

Agreed. But I don't like to pre-cache my taxis.
I hope you aren't using IE on Debian. It's not considered stable :-)
Doesn't work with my browser settings. I don't plan to change them either.
