Mon, 1 Jul 2002 19:20:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author robotech_master - Remember the good old days of the Palm III? Back when it was thought that 2 megabytes of RAM was enough, 4 was all you'd ever need, and 8 was overkill? How the only way of getting an 8-meg Palm was to buy a warranty-voiding conversion kit? And then...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brandoline - My life has never been so organized as it is now with my Handspring Visor Deluxe. Like my cell phone, I wonder how I ever survived before. I am a very forgetful person, and my Visor, working in conjunction with my PC, keeps me on track.
