  Re: Palm Pilots
 
(...) Hrmmm... that really isn't too shabby. I think I'll find someone who wants a IIIx cheap and get a IIIc, assuming it has 4mb. (25 years ago, 1-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) $.02 I'd rather use "normal" batteries. Easier to pick up an extra set while running through the airport and replace on the plane that way. -Steven (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Palm Pilots
 
(...) I thought the newer Palms would recharge batteries when parked on the cradle??? Steve (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Palm Pilots
 
(...) I believe that I've read that the e doesn't have the same sync capabilities as the x does, but I don't know the details offhand. Hmm, now that I think of it, I'm not sure where I heard that - may be a bad rumour. ah, there it is. According to (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Palm Pilots
 
(...) The color one has a built-in lithium rechargable, like the palm V, so it's less of an issue. They claim about two weeks of use. Further investigation shows that that's assuming 40 minutes a days, so that translates to 9-10 hours of continuous (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Palm Pilots
 
(...) Yeah, not being upgradable sucks. I'm using less than a meg, but I have yet to start trying out much of anything other than the built-in apps. Even if I never use more than 1.5mb, though, I'll feel better knowing I have 4mb instead of 2mb. And (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Palm Pilots
 
(...) The IIIe is also not flash upgradable. Not a death-knell type flaw, but it does shorten the lifespan. That's more important than the RAM, I think. Mike, how much of your 4MB are you using? I've got a IIIx too, and I barely have more than 1MB (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: DSL newbie
 
(...) Years of practice. *grin*. Actually, I've been doing Linux admin stuff for years and I wouldn't call myself an expert. But having a reasonable grasp is certainly obtainable. It just so happens that I just got done putting together some pages (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Factoring going off line for a while
 
(...) Will let you know soon, hopefully. (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Palm Pilots
 
(...) I have a IIIx. I bought it mainly because I wanted more RAM (4 megs) instead of less with a cool case - the V. Haven't kept up with the specs on the other models - I assume the IIIe has 2mb? I figure more is better, and since IIIx's were going (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: DSL newbie
 
(...) Hrmmm - ones that were written by people who obviously know what they're talking about? Not sure, haven't read many. :) You could check Cnet, Zdnet, and the like for comparisons between DSL and Cable. (...) Depends on how far you are from the (...)

  Re: Factoring going off line for a while
 
(...) I tried an old version of it about a year ago, on RH 5.2, but gave up on trying to get it to work after a while... is it worth trying again? :) Dan (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Factoring going off line for a while
 
(...) You tried the new Gnucash 1.3.0? I'm thinking of trying to coax Mandrake 7.0 onto my dual 366/512 system again. Figure it might be fun to do my finances on it... (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Palm Pilots
 
Folks out there must have Palm Pilots, is it worth the extra money to step up to IIIx instead of starting with a IIIe? What are the advantages of the IIIX? (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  DSL newbie
 
Hey all, I just discovered that my employer is offering DSL for way cheap for employees. I'm seriously considering throwing away my stone-age 33.6 and going for it, but I have a ton of questions no one at work is willing to answer: 1. Where to find (...)

  Re: C++ Data Types
 
Bryan, int is an integer variable, float is a non integer variable, ie: with a ddecimal place, and a double is also a non integer variable but capable of storing more digits than a float. Adam (...) (25 years ago, 27-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  C++ Data Types
 
Hi, Could somebody help me differentiate between an int, float, and double? (How can one "know" the language but not the basic data types!) Thanks! Bryan (25 years ago, 27-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
