PalmOne Support Site has really improved!

Posted Friday, June 11, 2004 8:38 AM by lauraj
I got an SMS message a while back to install a new update to my Treo 600. I never installed the update before this one -- my phone was working fine, and I didn't want to lose the ringtones that I worked so hard to get ;-) This time, though, I went to Read More...

Getting Things Done: Update

Posted Tuesday, April 27, 2004 9:29 PM by lauraj
Chris Sells pinged me today to ask about GTD. Actually, it was kind of funny... he sent me an email with the subject line “You've done this, what can you tell me?“ And the body was a link . That's it. When I first saw the subject line I thought Read More...

Tomorrow I'm off to Las Vegas for a few days of winning the casino's money (well that's *my* dream anyway), so I decided to check the weather. It's going to be beautiful, of course, but check out these descriptions, they delighted me :) Someone had some Read More...

New Computer (part 2)

Posted Saturday, March 13, 2004 6:25 PM by lauraj
Okay, so it wasn't as easy to get it working as it was to get it put together (not that I did much more than screw in a couple of screws and locate this product manual or that one). Thank goodness for Curtis or I would have been totally at a loss. Get Read More...

New computer on the way

Posted Tuesday, March 02, 2004 2:53 PM by lauraj
New computer on the way, woo hoo! That's the good news. Unfortunately, it's coming in pieces. My friend Curtis has agreed to put it together, but I'm guessing (based on past experience) that means that he sits there and tells me what to do. Aside: Curtis Read More...
