Dem Firewall Blues...
Installed McAfee Personal Firewall over an hour ago, and many reboots later (to install updates), started to use my PC. Then kablam! the first time I tried to access a shared network drive, my PC gets rebooted.
Aren't I glad no unsaved documents were open...

Memory Hungry
I'm thinking of buying JackFlash for my Sony NX60. This amazing piece of software costs about $20 and will give extra 4800Kb of space (ROM memory for application usage) on the NX60. It does this by making the "Read-Only memory" of the handheld writable.
The new version of Docs To Go really slow loading documents with some of its programs (notably the 718Kb size WordView+) on the Memory Stick. I realized this because on the Tungsten E which has a much slower processor than the Sony NX60, but oodles more memory, the same version of Docs To Go loads documents really fast.

A new Palm
Got a new Handheld computer today, a Palm Tungsten E from and for work!
It's quite a slick looking unit, and light too. The best thing is that it has 32Mb of RAM, with over 28Mb available. That's a whole lot more available memory than my personal PDA, a Sony NX60, which has 16Mb of RAM, but only 11Mb available
The Tungsten E comes with a load of software, and it is pretty good value for money. If I was in the market for a handheld right now, and did not want one with a camera, I'd take a good look at this one.
There are only two drawbacks, one of them which is more of a personal preference, and the other which could be a problem with Palm accessories.
Graffiti 2: I'm so used to Graffiti 1, I really have a problem with Graffiti 2
No Universal Connector: I guess this is to keep the price low, and it makes it easy for moving between desktop computers, like a travel charger.
