The Dell switcher has caused some problems and I didn't feel like loading any 3rd party apps to close programs.

And cheating in solitaire, and I mean 3 card draw.
<ctl>, <Shift>, New

How does pressing <ctl>, <Shift>, New let you cheat at solitaire?

I tried it, and all it did was start a new game... which it does anyway if one just presses NEW by itself.

* Run a direct-connect cable to my car stereo and use the Ax to play MP3 music.

How do you this?

[illbfit4evr123]

i use mine to play music on my suround sound system. i use a cable that has av jacks on one side and a headphone jack on the other, or you could get a tape adapter.

Translate Chinese into English & vice versa. Good sound through the headphones.

What program do you use for the translation?

You can find quite a few at this site: www.chinesesoftware.com.

I use Windows media player to convert the phrases recorded on the language cd's & put them on a CF card. Name them for the phrase itself.

The coolest for me so far is when a friend and I used our wireless CF cards, connected using Microsoft Portrait and used ours to walkie-talkie back and forth. kinda crude on the sound but it worked well.

Well, I tried to download the PC version and got an error message, "This program does not contain the Installer program INSTMSIA.EXE that is necessary for this program to install on your operating system."

So after going to ANOTHER page to download that program, install it, reset my computer, return BACK to the MS download site and finally get their program installed... it works. Don't know what it's good for... but it works.

Two things I'm getting tired of: MS consistently releasing applications that REQUIRE Windows XP (thus leaving millions of Win98 users in the dust), and...

Software that is difficult to install, is bug-ridden and doesn't work.

Just minor things I know...

Here's one of my favorite Axim tricks... I call it "Pavlov's Dogs".

Pull out the Axim in the middle of a crowd and watch the people around me instantly begin to salivate... :p
