…Pilot…

I love mine…it’s about 3 years old…the Palm Pilot Personal upgraded to 2 Megs (I know…not much these days)…In addition to the standard software…

I have QMate (a Quicken add on to track finances)  
…Launcher III  
…Cross Bow (for doing crosswords on the Palm…can download USA Today crosswords among others)  
…DateBk3 (the best datebook planner around)  
…Showtimes (downloads movie times from Yahoo and then synchs them across…a great one trick pony)  
…hackmaster (and a few assorted hacks)  
…mulg (a great freeware puzzle game…gets VERY hard at the higher levels)  
…pocket chess (not a bad player actually for such a small footprint)  
…SolitaireFree  
…SubHunt  
…Traffic (another nice puzzle)  
…Dinky Pad  
So…how do you Palm?

Yes! I’m an addict. But I’ve got the Visor Deluxe from Handspring. Cheaper equivilant of the PalmVx I believe.  
subhunt is great, I use mine for reading E-Books on Mobipocket as well. Qmate is handy. I didn’t much like Launcher so i deleted it, CrossBow is fun, ViewerIII is handy as well, Noah is a cool dictionary, Vindigo is good for showtimes and clubs, dining, etc. in any city in the world.
