John,
I was sent demo software like you are referring to but have lost it before trying it.
I hope the newer palms become easier to read as my brothers is impossible for my "bright light & reading glasses" eyes.
Looking for demo,
Jack : )

Jack,
They have been dropping the prices on the Palm III as some new models are coming out in March. Supposed to have better screens. Some of the other makes have color - but gobble batteries.
The Pilot appears to have "the Mo" in terms of software for it. My Dweeb Lord friend even has tide tables on his. With all this, there must be something to help keep track of construction details.
My Zaurus is worse for reading. At least the Palm has a backlight of sorts. Didn't think the early CE machines were that great for reading. It's a common problem.

John,
Found the company literature and web site...http://www.syix.com/cps/newindex2.htm
Lots of software and they did send me a free demo that I
have...somewhere.

*Something to think about...For every dollar spent buying software and hardware along with the upgrading of all annually, what's our financial gain...verses...say...having not lost all that time studying which to buy, the time lost playing with and learning and using and finally theb big one...what if we instead had bought with the same money, these companies' stocks!?!?...b more (free)time...more money!...That's what we'd have!Jack : )
