Note to someone

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Scoble pointed to this story about the possibility of a Pocket PC pricewar just in time for Christmas. Given all the discussion we’ve had around here concerning PocketPC and Palm, it’s probably worth noting to someone planning to buy me a Christmas gift. 🙂

By the way, I think the deciding factor between PocketPc and Palm for me is going to be MP3 playback. I want to be able to use it to listen to MP3’s while traveling. Palms don’t seem to come with that feature preinstalled, and don’t appear to have a headphone jack either. Or am I missing something?

Progress that I’ve made on the $0 budget intranet so far this week: Installed SlimFTP for Uniserver plugin. Ran into that same old start bug that the 3.2 version of Uniserver had, however I discovered that just starting the FTP server from the .exe instead of the batch file works like a charm. Installed WebCalendar….

Today’s column by Fred Langa is the second recent reference I’ve seen to BartPE: Bart’s PE Builder helps you build a “BartPE” (Bart Preinstalled Environment) bootable Windows CD-Rom or DVD from the original Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 installation/setup CD, very suitable for PC maintenance tasks.
