Laurelin's New Toy

[Aluscia]

Well, I'll give you three hints as to what it is... It's plastic, it gives me great pleasure, and it fits in my hand quite nicely....



































































Well, now that your gutter-minds have had a chance to possibly grasp at what I'm talking about, it's my new palm pilot IIIxe... :D I'm SOOOOOO excited about it. I'm going online right after this post to find all the goodies I can for it... I'm having a blast! I've already all but mastered the Graffiti writing language... (It's a bit weird, and REALLY REALLY touchy... especially with my v's) Well, now that I've finished, post some cool things you know about palm pilots... or, if you actually own one, tell me about some cool software I could find! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Maz]

What kind of Dildo is that?:D And since when do they go online, is tha for more pleasure?:lol

[Aluscia]

PALM PILOT... jeez... You're the one who fantasizes about me having a dildo... wow.... :rolleyes: :barf :lol :lol

[Cerberus]

I dont need a peace of plastic to be a palm pilot

[Mythril Gear]

Mmmm.... palm piloty fun. In my opinion, they're not as useful as a real laptop, but meh, they're SUPER cool, and stylish too! I've mastered the graffiti, and if youre having trouble with v's, write them backwards. (The line-side first) Actually grafitti is REALLY flexible and lenient, many letters can be shortened by quite a few strokes. (Just like my handwriting!) Try out stuff.... see what works, and what doesn't. Anyhow, for software, get a picture drawing program like Teal Paint, or a Launcher type program. You can also find grafitti altering prograns that let you reprogram the stroke order and such. But the most funnest app is hackmaster. Get all kinds of hacks, backlight hacks, button hacks, IR hacks, overclock hacks, all sorts of fun stuff. (maybe there's even a vibrate-alarm hack.....:lol )

I'll email you "Dope Wars" for the Palm. It is a fun and addictive game.

[Steffa]

ah, dope wars

that is such a fun game, i love it

But not too much!

[RazorDragoon]

Hey! Someone else has a Palm Pilot!
:D
I have a Palm Vx. Its so boss!:D

[CrazyLEG]

Phew, From the Topic I thought this "NEW" toy required batteries and it liked....the dark the light the dark the light....etc. :lol


Blackdragon, I'm with j00....I have a Palm Vx...and it ROCKS!!

But, I don't have Dope Wars. :(

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

I use my Palm Pilot to handle my joystick....







BTW, Laur, that Palm Pilot is water proof, right?

:D

[Stang]

Maye the word Palm Pilot is just another word she uses to describe her new toy :lol .

I mean if your really think of the name it actually sounds like a battery operated device :D , ok lets just say the damn word

VIBRATOR!!! :eek:


Ahh I feel so much better now :o

The word PALM, yes you do hold IT in the PALM of you hand :D . PILOT, yes some of you may name IT this and a PILOT does have a destination :D .

Ok enough of my little gross mind :gryph19: but it had to be said.

[Mythril Gear]

*sigh*
Those Palm Pilots are gonna be on all of your desktops soon enough. Just look at the Palm Pilot Visor thingy. With that Gameboy-esque slot on the back, it does sooooo many different things. To name a few: Remote Control (IR Trancever), MP3 Player, Cell-Phone, Camera, and lots more! The CPU's are also getting faster... they started at 33 mhz for my weeny Palm 1000, now they're up to 100 mhz. Soon they will......
TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!!! (dum dee dee dum dum dum, they're pinky and the brain, pinky and the brain....)

[RazorDragoon]

And they can emulate Gameboy too!

[Gambit]

I bought one a couple months ago from a guy at work - an old Palm Pilot Professional with the 2mb/IR upgrade. Now it's flaking out on me, so I bought a new 3xe on eBay for $118. From a company in Toronto, ironically enough, Laur.
Tip - never ever use rechargables in your Palm. :( Even the alkaline ones.
I will love having a full 8MB to carry around; it was pretty easy to fill up the 2MB in the old one. :redbounce

A game you might want to check out is called Ackeron. It's an RPG, and a pretty good one for something like a Palm.

I downloaded OnBoardC. It's a C compiler and resource editor that runs ON THE PALM. So you can write programs anywhere. :) And compile and run them on the spot. I got it after I was looking into a drawing program, and the author said he wrote it with OnBoardC during cigarette breaks and such. :eek:

I also used it to read when I had a moment or two. I read "Island of Dr. Moreau" again, and "Call of Cthulu" for the first time. There are a number of document readers out there, and several places to get books from. The last reader I tried was TomeRaider.

[Aluscia]

Why not use rechargables? and as for the Ccompiler, it should come with a program called PocketC... :)

[Gambit]

The instructions specifically say to avoid rechargables. I thought I could get away with it because I got alkaline rechargables, which are supposed to be better for electronic devices and weren't around when my old Palm Pilot Pro was made. The voltage is a little different(lower) between rechargables and regular batteries, not usually enough to notice.
I guess it was different enough to mess up my Palm. Sigh.

And the problem with PocketC is that it requires a run-time library to be present when the program is run. OnBoard C produces standalone programs. Not really a problem for the developer (me), but if I choose to distribute any of my applications I want it to be as clean and simple as possible. Sometimes I'm picky.

(BTW, does pocketC have a resource editor? For pictures and forms.)

[RazorDragoon]

Batterys suck !
My Palm Vx runs on an internal power cell!:D
To recharge I plug it in the cradle

[Mythril Gear]

I hate to burst your bubble, but that IS a battery, and a rechargeable one too. However, it is probably a Lithium-ION type, which is the highest technology (i.e. High Voltage, Low Charging time, No Memory problems, stuff like that.) It's also a flat battery like in the World's smallest CD player, which allows the thing to be thin, and not clunky like mine.

[Gambit]

Ya, the cradle vs batteries issue is one I have thought about. Batteries mean you have to keep buying them, and throwing them out. One with a cradle means I have to be near the cradle, take the cradle on trips, etc. A little less flexible.

All else being equal, I think I would've chosen the cradle.

[Aluscia]

Now I have to save up for a keyboard for the thing... I'm going to be using it as my laptop at school, I think.
