My first question would be: why are you using a PocketPC? Clearly, you don't like it, you don't like Microsoft or Windows - and to be honest, your attitude is going to get in the way of your enjoyment. Maybe you'd be happier with a Sharp Zaurus?
Well, to be honest I don't have that huge a problem with Winblows, My bone is more with microshaft. That being said, it isn't really going to hinder my experience very much at all. I use Winblows as my main OS on my gaiming system. I am just a true Linuxhead who has many very big problems with MS and Windows. Also, I got this Axim because it really was the only PDA that well met my needs, and I could amazingly afford it. Also, I bought it second-hand and especially because of college could not in any way afford a new one without putting off a car payment or somehting bad like that.

Now... back on topic.

I will try the suggestion about dripping my bitrate. I am one of those "quality is preferred over size" types so that is almost definately going to be my problem.

I guess I will just use the Home Screen but I was more looking for something like Vindows (http://www.ppc4you.com/show.cgi?softid=8218) that mimicks windows (again - I like windows but don't like how insecure it is etc...) Is there anything like that which is nice and reliable etc, or should I just use the Home Screen?

As far as closing, I use the switcher app already and already have it starting up (One good thing about it being Pocket Windows is that I already know Windows more thoroughly then most "Ubertechnicians" so that helps me.) I was just hoping to avoid that extra step because in my forgetfulness I often remember to look up after I have about 5-10 programs running. I just wanted to simplify it one more notch if possible.

Sorry if I came across a prude or an jerk-hole. I try not to be, and to be honest I get _REALLY_ frustrated really easily by the end of the day which is the only time I have to make my posts. So please understand that I am not trying to unload on this forum or anything; I am merely extremely stressed, tired and frustrated. I will try to tone it down even more so that you all don't start to hate me, but please understand where I am coming from.

Thanks for you time, and as always it has definately helped!

You are all awesome! :approve: :cheers: :nw:
