Freaky. Something weird happened in our database and replaced the first few characters with gibberish. I changed it back.

I downloaded the conduit...it's archive is a sea that requires OS 9

I hate it when companies do that. Does it work in X at least?

Or you could drag n drop the conduit archive on top of StuffIt Expander in X's Utilities folder. That will expand it without launching Classic mode.

Or you can change ".sea" to ".app" and double-click to open the archive in OS X. This tip found at macosxhints.com.

Has anyone had any luck using this carbonized WordSmith conduit with Palm Desktop 4 beta for OS X? I tried just now and got this error message:

This conduit is either too old or too new to run on this version of HotSync® and/or your operating system. synchronization failed
'WordSmith' failed (error = This conduit is either too old or too new to run on this version of HotSync® and/or your operating system.)

I got the same message. I am WAY sad. Wonder when they will fix it. Has anyone heard anything one way or another from Blue Nomad?

I emailed them last night and got the standard erase everything from computer and handheld, then reinstall stuff. It still doesn't work. Time for another email.

T615 Sound Update

The T-615 can now play sound with an update from teal movie without the annoying sound that has
been bothering us all...the link is www.tealpoint.com

Holster really useful?

Is it really an advantage to have those bulking
up your keyring for the weeks between battery
changes? Seems like if you're going to be
carrying your Palm for long enough to worry about
battery replacement, you could alsocarry a couple of
AAAs less obtrusively.

I usually use masking tape to attach 2 AAAs
tail-to-tail (no circuit) and store them with
my pens. Just rip and go.
