| I don't think there's anything for OS 2 that will let you do anything with Word files. The thing only has 1 meg of RAM, so even if Docs to Go would run on it, it wouldn't leave you room for much else.
For apps, try searching PalmGear. They might still have some old stuff. I think I even have some ancient Palm apps on my computer at home. | |

Take a look at the Palm download section of CNet. They allow you to filter by what Palm OS you want. A fair amount of OS 2 compatible software shows up. | |

I always found ebooks hard to read on a small screen. That being said you may want to try out TiBR from inDev Software. Alot is going to depend on what format the ebook is in. A good place to get free ebooks is at Memoware. | |

| Or what about Plucker. I can remember that it works on OS2-but without Zlib support. Or what about an OS3 upgrade card? | |

Yeah!
You'd be surprised - Monochrome LCD screens are generally a lot easier to read in a given lighting condition.
Some people think that 160^2 screen will be too small, but in actualy physical terms it's BIGGER than modern screens (You need 4 pixels in HiRes to make something the same size as 1 pixel of a LoRes screen).
You don't get any of the fancy curvy fonts or antialiasing, but the text is clear enough to read.
I must admit, for reading in bed, an old indiglo-backlit mono-LCD is a lot easier on the eyes than the harsh cathode backlights in colour LCDs, even on their lowest brightness! | |

| well now it seems to be giving me hard resets every so often, not whil im using it, but when its sitting there, i go to start it back up and it does the digitizer calibration thing again, i think it might be from my cell or from my cordless phone, theyre both within 1 foot of it during a period of time, then i go to use it and its reset, i know its not the PDA it self because its mint
