As some of you know, I was in the market for a palm pilot. So I got one. 300 bucks. A Tungsten E plus a fold out keyboard. Doesn't have much memory, and doesn't have internet, but I'm going to get memory cards and a wireless NIC for it, anyway.

It's currently charging, but should be operational in about 2 hours. Once everything installed, I want to see if there are any nifty programs I can use with it. It's got this consistancy button that syncs data between the PC and the Palm (Like the outlook organizer program thing) and I'm wondering if I upload an RSS feed to the palm and press that 'update' button if I can make it update all of my feeds. I suppose once I get a NIC it won't be an issue, but until then, eh, I'd like my RSS feeds on my palm.

Any suggestions for reliable 3rd party programs? I don't have much space at all at the moment, so they'd better be good.

Also: Post your recent techno-purchases of 100 dollars or more.

I need to buy a new Palm Pilot... I'm still using an M100. Of course, before that I was using a Palm III.

I don't use mine much. It's more or less become my alarm clock, digital doodle pad, note keeper, datebook, and address book. So basically, everything it was initially made to do. Meh. Of course, I'd LOVE to do more with it, but it's rather limited in functionality now considering it's age.

Most recent: PSP. $250. MP3/Movie/Picture/Game/Internet Browser/Wardriving device

Most Expensive: HP Pavilion zv5410us - AMD64 3200+, 512MB Ram, 60GB HD. $950

Sound card: Echo Layla3G
A/D/A converter: Behringer Ultragain Pro-8
Control surface: Behringer BCF-2000

Bought that this week.

A 160 GB hardrive. I think it was actually a little less than 100.

$400 headphones.
$300 PDA
$300 PSP
$2000 laptop

Dman, that was a lot of money.

I have no money until tomorrow. STUDENT LOAN DAY IN DURHAM! YAAAAAAAY!

Then I will pay the bills, pay off my credit card and figure out how much beer money I can siphon out of it without killing myself.

Last piece of tech I bought was probably my external CD Burner (I realised I'm too cheap to buy a DVD-R - and they drove the prices of the CD-RW Drives right down) and that cost about £50.

Oh, and my iPod, but that was in summer and £220.

I got given a Palm Vx by my brother, and then my boss gave me a fold out keyboard for it. So I have Palm Vx + Keyboard + all crap that comes with the Vx.. for free

I bought a mini-mp3 player for £50, which is about $100. It's bloody small. Only 256mb, though.

Ditto. Great purchase.



Waste of $$ on a laptop. Quite sad, really.

This is what I got. It should arrive tomorrow.

rofl, Why in God's name would you say that?

I lost my Palm software when I got a new computer.

Anybody know a free one in which I can hotsync my little Palm friend? :x

Ya'll... I HAVE A PDA for sale at 100 bucks. Ya'll could have all saved you some monies.

I love having the ability to read articles when I have some time to kill. Plus you can save driving directions to it from MapQuest.

That works. Thank you

I'm still using a Palm m505, but it has somehow lost the capability to connect to the computer.

As for my most recent purchase; I guess that would be the GeForce 6800GT that I bought back in November. Then there was my computer which I got in August.

Tried reinstalling the Desktop Software? Mine's done that before... Reinstalling the software fixed it.

Dude, I'm getting a Dell AXim X50v. Quantify, just how awesome is it exactly?

Yah... I've tried everything short of reformatting the computer.
