The bumper sticker reads: Motorcycles are everywhere. Well, if a Mac gets you where you're going, then your motorcycle is the Palm III from 3Com. I've been waiting for a PDA that would easily fit in my pocket and met the Best of Show criteria of "Mac-like." The thing is on and ready for action the instant you touch a button. The graffiti handwriting strokes are easy to learn The Palm world is Mac-like when it comes to apps too. There are just a ton of add-on programs for the Palm users, many of them shareware. Third party products abound and conduits to and from your Palm for Quicken, Filemaker, and Excel make working seamless. |

KEYSPAN's USB PCI Card Classic N.E. Mac thinking... I'm not going to buy an iMac anytime soon... but I want some of those cool iMac peripherals... printers... drives... because Universal Serial Bus ports will be on future consumer-level Macs... so get a KEYSPAN USB PCI card for your current PowerMac... $79... is our thinking too transparent? We love those guys at KEYSPAN... lots of hardware options all for less than a hundred bucks. Check out the Macintouch USB Product Guide page for the latest in USB stuff. |
