Quickies: IMDB, Giveaway, ExpressAddress

Posted By: The People Below Wednesday, May 9, 2001 9:22:00 AM

PalmTec Ltd has released the Internet Movie Database in TomeRaider format. The IMDB is the largest and most current movie guide available. They had to reduce the file size by limiting it to films which had a UK or US cinema release. Still, there is information on nearly 30 thousand films. They will release new versions of the data every two months. -Mat Ripley

Robert Jen is donating two copies of his Trivia game Triv on #palmchat this tonight, May 9. The giveaway will run from 8:30 pm EDT - 12:30 am EDT. You do not have to be present at 12:30AM to win. Full rules are available here. -Janice Karin

Looks like a good use for MSMount. Just put this on an SD card and use MSMount to access it without having to load it into RAM.

Looks like it's good for M500 users with an SD card

Conspiracy Theory...

Could it have been a conspiracy between Palm and them to release this immense database just as Palm releases the M500 & M505?

Hmmm...
