Interesting usefulness

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Last night I found some interesting useful things to do with my Pocket PC. Sleeping at the in-laws, I used a CF card full off MP3’s and my stereo headphones to fall asleep to music without bothering my wife, or having to lug around any extra cd player or cd’s. Then, when I woke up in the middle of the night, the Pocket PC was still running right there on the night stand, so just a tap on the screen later I had enough light to see my way around the room, and I could get a peek at the time. Of course this assumes you have it plugged into a wall outlet and set to not shut off when connected to power this way, but it was kinda nice.

Angela, on the other hand, called it the most expensive night-light in the world. She just doesn’t get it. *L*

    I’ve been using Mozilla 1.1 for the last few days here at work. As I’ve mentioned before, it can’t really take the place of IE for me, because there’s too many things that don’t work quite right with it, yet. But I’m finding that I can use it in connection with IE to help some…

    Marc left a comment that had me nodding my head in agreement. “The problem I have is with some managers who save EVERYTHING on their personal .pst file and end up with +1 GB file size” While I haven’t had anyone break the 1GB plateau, I know exactly what he’s talking about. Most of the…
