Tennis Addict

Played it and it works great! Looking forward to Lemonade! Didn't work on my Palm V "Not enough memory to run program" and i had 1.8 mg free. Not great greyscale support.

Its probably dynamic RAM it wants, not storage RAM. Upgrading to Palm OS 4.1 might let it work on your Palm V, since that OS version has a larger dynamic heap.

Comp USA MS + GameFixx

I just thought I would pass this along. I am a CompUSA GameFixx member, which entitles me to 10% savings in the store, accept computers. To my surprise they let me use the card as well s get the free 128 MB MS. So, for $540.00, i got the NR70V and also the 128 MB MS. A Great deal on a great machine.

You could also go start a new gamefixx membership for $40(~) and use it right away. It would pay for itself plus a little extra immediately.

$540.00... you mean $540.00 + Tax right?

Yes, sorry. The $540.00 + whatever sales tax your state requires.

I bought the NR-70V yesterday. Free Mem Stick, plus they've got 12 months INTEREST FREE if you use your CompUSA credit card on purchases $599 and up. Had to pay retail price, but it'll be quite easy to pay for this COOL device over time!
