This issue occurs in Magic Cap 1.0 only. Magic Cap 1.5 correctly honors
the "new items" setting on the SRAM card and installs to the SRAM card,
not main memory.

There are 2 distinct memory issues with Magic Xchange which you have sort
of merged here.
First, it is a good idea to disconnect Magic Xchange because it consumes
transient memory with the connection state (storeroom shelf and packages,
comms actor handling serial I/O, etc), though it is much less than 100K.
The second issue (where you got the 100K from) is that Magic Xchange won't
attempt to instal a package unless there is 100k main memory available on
the device above and beyond the package size. Thus, to install a 10K
package, you would need 110K main memory free. Otherwise, it is too
likely that you will run into "nearly full" dialogs during install or
unpack. I believe that Sony recommends keeping at least 100K free for the
same reason. Note that this rule is only applied when the Install command
is used from the PC - dragging in the storeroom does not do this check.

I found my ISP doesn't currently offer listservs for any price, so our
project communication options are either....
1. Some good soul sets up a listserv for our use, or....
2. ...each participant maintains a mailing list - easy to do in most
mail environments - of participants.
I suggest we find a listserv. It gives us economical (from the
sender's standpoint) distribution, a communications archive,
lets participants receive project news in digest form, and solves
the hassle of each participant having to keep an up-to-date distribution
list.
Any takers? Any comment?

For no apparent reason (that I can fathom, anyway) Farcast has decided

I'd like to echo those comments. I can't wait to get the full reader AND the
compressor app. There are more and more Electronic Texts available for
downloading daily (refer to if you
haven't already). I'd love to see a feasible text reader and compression
utility available so I could really make use of them on my Link...
The potential for commercial application of these apps in a PDA context is
great, in my opinion. Imagine a physician being able to carry references as he
makes his rounds, a lawyer being able to take entire legal codes along with
him/her to court, or an accountant being able to take volumes of tax regulations
along when s/he goes to audit a client... I'm salivating at that prospect in my
own profession...
So please let's hear some details (if known) as to when we can hope for more!

Alan,
You may want to check out our Magic Broker client which connects up to PC
Financial Network, the nations largest online stock brokerage. There is
lots of information on it at http://www.magicbroker.com including an
offline demo and an html version of the user guides.
By the way, we have tested it with Sony Electronic's wireless solution
(http://www.sel.sony.com/SEL/Magic/wmlinkbundle.html) and it does work.
However, if you move into an area with poor coverage (e.g. you drive into a
tunnel), obviously, you will sever the wireless connection.
We don't promote this as a wireless solution because it depends so heavily
on the quality of cellular coverage in your area. Magic Broker uses the
CompuServe network as the network carrier. If CompuServe ever installs a
wireless modem bank (which improves the integrity of digital data
transmitted over cellular) then this would greatly improve the viability of
this wireless solution.
Magic Broker is a good online stock package. If you already have the
wireless bundle, give it a try. You may find that it is also a good
wireless solution in your area as well.

=============================
Major shakeup at General
Magic
By Jeff Pelline
September 18,1996, 6:30 p.m. PT
A top management shakeup is expected
at troubled General Magic (GMGC) as early as
tomorrow, CNET has learned.
Sources said the software company's cofounder
and chief executive Marc Porat and president
Robert Kelsch are expected to resign. Novell
Executive Vice President Steve Markman has
been named as a possible replacement for Porat,
who is to stay on in an advisory role with
cofounder Andy Hertzfeld.
General Magic declined comment, but a
spokeswoman did say that a "major corporate
announcement" was planned for tomorrow,
without elaboration.
General Magic's stock closed unchanged today at
3-3/4. It has traded as low as 3-1/2 and as high as
15-5/8 in the past 52 weeks.
The company has suffered a series of setbacks this
year. Sony halted plans to make another handheld
computer based on the company's Magic Cap
operating system, and AT&T scaled back its ties
to the company.
The company's chief financial officer, Dennis
Raney, resigned in May.
More recently, General Magic unveiled plans to
turn into an Internet company, trying to capitalize
on the Internet boom. Founded in 1990, General
Magic was bankrolled by AT&T, Motorola, and
Apple Computer.

Here are the first 4 paragraphs. Consult their web page for the full text.
=========================
General Magic Names Steve Markman CEO
Executive Transitions to Drive Company Success in the Internet
SUNNYVALE, Calif., -- September 19, 1996 -- General Magic, Inc. (NASDAQ:
GMGC) today announced executive transitions, including the appointment of
Steve Markman as president, chief executive officer and chairman of the
Board of Directors.
The changes are a next step in General Magic's growth, aimed toward
delivering new products for the Internet marketplace. Marc Porat will step
down as CEO and will assume a role of advisor to the company and will
continue as a Board member. Moving forward, the functions of president, CEO
and chairman will be combined into a single position, which Markman will
assume immediately. Robert Kelsch, president, has resigned.
Markman brings to General Magic a broad range of telecommunications,
networking and applications systems experience spanning 29 years, including
general management and engineering disciplines, from both small and large
companies. Most recently of Novell, Inc., he was executive vice president
and general manager of the Novell Products Group, including all product
lines. Markman has held executive management positions with Hewlett
Packard, Network Equipment Technologies, AT&T Bell Labs, and First Pacific
Networks.
"I concluded some time ago that General Magic needs a CEO with different
skills than mine," said Marc Porat, founder and, as of today, advisor to
the company. "With the Board's support, we recruited a first-rate
executive, Steve Markman, to the leadership spot. Our phase as a visionary
company now gives way to a competitive race in the Internet space. Steve
has a clear mandate to move Magic's technologies into lucrative markets in
his field of experience. This transition is healthy, appropriate and
timely."

"We also thank Bob Kelsch for his extraordinary contribution over the
past year," Porat continued. "During that time, General Magic
transitioned its business and market strategy to the Internet, corporate
intranets and the World Wide Web." Over the past four months, General
Magic announced a new business strategy and several new products to
address the Internet. The company transitioned the Magic Cap operating
environment for mobile communicators and the Telescript agent-based
communications language configured for large public networks to open
Internet standards.
"During the past six years, under Marc Porat's leadership, the company
launched a compelling vision, delivered enabling technology for the
electronic marketplace, and created a powerful alliance of partners such
as Sony, Motorola, Mitsubishi, NTT and Fujitsu," said Roel Pieper,
president and chief executive of Tandem Computers and General Magic
Board member. "Bob Kelsch helped the company realign its strategy toward
the fastest growing segment in the computer industry, the Internet. Now,
we have consolidated the company leadership functions into a single
position to drive the company toward future success. We are very pleased
that Steve Markman, with his background and experience, has joined the
company to assume that role."
Internet-Focused Products
Within the past year, General Magic has delivered on its promise to move
its products quickly into the Internet arena with the announcements of
the first graphical Web browser and multimedia e-mail client for
handheld communicators, called Presto!Links and Presto!Mail. The company
also delivered Tabriz AgentWare and Agent Tools, agent-based server
software and development tools.
General Magic worked to help customers transition from AT&T's
proprietary PersonaLink network to open Internet service providers such
as Netcom and America Online, using the Presto!Links and Presto!Mail
products. The company's stated plans with Magic Cap are to further
encourage the development of mobile Web browsing solutions by supporting
third party software developers to create applications for vertical
markets such as medical, financial services and mobile corporate
professionals.
Tabriz enables web sites and corporate networks to host and deploy
agent-based applications. It is based on the Telescript programming
language, which has been in commercial deployment worldwide over the
past couple of years, in large public networks from AT&T and Fujitsu,
and in large-scale trials by NTT, and soon by France Telecom. The
company's strategy with Tabriz is to encourage the development of
agent-based applications and services for the Web and corporate intranet
environments. Agent technology and companies which are delivering
agent-based services are among the innovators for the Internet and
promise to revolutionize the way information, services and products are
delivered.
The company also delivered SoftModem, which is software that provides
the full suite of data and fax modem functions on general-purpose
microprocessors independent of operating system or processor. SoftModem
gives consumer electronics and computer manufacturers the ability to
dramatically reduce the cost and complexity of products compared to
existing hardware solutions.
The company also announced the appointment of David Duckworth to vice
president and general manager of General Magic's Worldwide Field
Organization. Duckworth comes to General Magic with more than 17 years
experience in computer industry sales, marketing and channel
development. Most recently, he was with Object/FX Corporation in
Minneapolis as vice president of sales and marketing. He also has held
sales and marketing posts with Sybase, Hewlett Packard and IBM. At
General Magic, Duckworth will build a field and sales organization to
expand the company's presence in new markets and to continue support of
existing partners.

Tony & others,
Yes, the 2Mg SRAM cards from Reboot work like a champ. I had earlier
ordered
an indentical card from Pygmy...identical in all outward appearances: Grid
(it even had a Reboot fact sheet with it) except that try as I might, I
could never get the PIC-2000 to recognize it. It was locked in with a
format for the Zaurus. I sent that back, and ordered the same from Reboot
and plugged it right in. I liked it so well, I ordered another one today:
$73.90 shipped. This may clear up earlier posts I had made on this issue.

I've seen several comments about cell phone usage for checking mail

for more solutions along the lines of the Ricochet network.

Steve,
From the sound of it, it was sent by someone with Presto!Mail, which
encodes the Email before sending so rich content can traverse the net.
To receive this message, you will need either Presto!Mail (available
from Magic at (888) CONJURE), or Greg Satz' UUDecode package on your
device. UUDecode is available on the www.spies.com/MagicCap site.
After its installed, collect the mail with your communicator, read the
mail, and tap the magic lamp. There should be a 'Decode' button in the
magic lamp's command window.
Receiving packages to the communicator can happen several other ways
as well. If the sender and receiver both use AOL, rich content can be
sent natively without having to encode it. You can also beam rich
content between two devices directly.
Hope this helps! :)
