Hey. New board.

I'm not impressed unless there was snow. In your house.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Only in the winter.

(Although there was plenty of snow on the screen. No cable in those days, either...)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Pfah. We didn't get colour TV until we moved out of the third world. In the 80s.

Well, it took a lot of extra time to add the "u" to a standard color TV.

Pfft.

I wonder how much this will go for.

Now, I'd just about made up my mind to go with the older Tungsten C, but now I'm bumping into "fragile case" reviews. This is why I prefer impulse purchases.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Which Clié do you have? How long have you had it?

N760C. Still going strong. I bought it in February 2002--I remember waiting until after Christmas for the price drop.

Why am I barrelling through Cliés?

I dunno. Are you as hard on them as you are on your cell phone? Wait, that was a Sony too, wasn't it? Maybe it is a you vs. Sony thing.

WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR????

Heh. Not working for Sony, at any rate.

...Zodiac...gonna dump me like Sony did?

Probably. I still haven't found anyone who has actually used or bought a Zodiac, which speaks poorly for their market share. "Let me do the math here--nothin' into nothin', carry the...."

ita,

I have a Palm Zire 71 for nearly 2 years now. I love it to death. It has a camera on it and I can use it to play MP3s (only a small number though).

I've run into a problem in Foxfire that is driving me crazy. (OK, I know, more like putt than a drive.) I switched to the new Foxit pdf reader; I like the smaller footprint . OK - I made it the default for opening pdf files in my browser. But the problem is the adobe plugin is still there, and when I disable it, it gets re-enabled after a few sessions. Is there any way to remove a plugin from firefox, as opposed to disabling it?

Is this how you disabled it?

Tool-->Options
click Downloads
In the lower right corner, click "Plug-Ins"
Un-check the file-type association.

Yes clicked downloads, Clicked plug ins. Unchecked the "enable" check box in the rightmost column. And it is fine - until it is mysteriously turned on again.
