Not to bust chops TOO much here, but don't bother calling Sony Electronics
for Magic Exchange.  I called them the better part of EIGHT weeks ago, and
they still don't have it, and have no clue when they're gonna get it.  ARRGH!

Subject: PrestoMail rules?

I rely heavily on the forwarding rules that Plink provided. In
particular the ability to have things sent to my SkyTel was critical.
Does PrestoMail do this?

Subject: Re: 28.8 card modems


Steve

Thanks for the feedback.  I'm downloading about 70 messages a day from my
ISP and it sounds like the faster modem would help.  It would also help
when surfing as I may click through alot of links before getting to the
page I really want.

I'll just have to wait awhile till the prices come down, or my SO allows me
to dip into our savings.  Maybe if I buy her that new stovetop.........

Subject:  RE>28.8 card modems


As with all things having to do with hardware, software and communications,
it
depends. For short transfers with a lot of back-and-forth communication, a
faster modem is no help in this situation. For downloads of large objects,
e.g. graphics, it will help. You won't see true 28.8 speeds because the OS
is
crunching, but you'll get quicker response than with a slower modem. \Steve

I too think a 28.8 modem would be nice.  However, the response from my
previous suggestion indicated the OS was the limiting factor, not the
modem.  Active Paper said that a faster modem wouldn't improve the speed of
Presto!Mail or Presto!Links.  Any comments from Sony or General Magic?

Two styii? I'll have to try that.

I've gotten pretty fast with one stylus, so I don't think I'll be
using a hand writiing recognition system.

Here's a typing trick I've found which saves a great deal of time on
the communicator. Whenever you want to use a set of parens... () or a
pair of quotes "", get both symbols as the same time, then hit the
back arrow to locate the cursor between the symbols, then switch back
to text and go.

I use Graffiti almost exclusively and i really like it. It worked best
with my natural way of printing with very little change on my part. I
tried QuickPrint and Scribe and had actually switched to Scribe because
of it's smaller size, but then i acquired a Pilot and switched back to
Graffiti.
Graffiti will not be updating their current version for Magic Cap in
the future, so what you see is what you get.

They all have demo versions available you just need to look around.
