RSS Readers for Palm

About.com has a round up of Palm RSS Aggregators. I have a long history with Palm(Pilot 1000, Palm III, Palm V, Tungsten C, Palm TX), but I’ve been out of the Palm loop for a year or so. Now that I have a brand new Palm TX, it’s great to see that AvantGo is still kicking. QuickNews also looks promising.

XP and Vista – Dual Boot

Since I can’t use VPN, Network Printing or PalmOS USB Synchronization with Vista, I decided format my drive and start from scratch with an XP/Vista dual boot. I still plan to use Vista as my primary, but I’ll occasionally boot into XP when the need arises. I saw a few posts on the subject of dual booting XP and Vista, but nothing that seemed official, so I asked Hans Anderson at Microsoft how he normally does it.

It turns out that the process of setting up the dual boot is very simple:

make a primary NTFS partition
install XP
run XP
In XP:

make another primary NTFS partition

run the Vista installer

How many DAYS does it take to receive a DIGITAL E-BOOK from Amazon?

I purchased an ebook last night(pdf) from Amazon. Here I am 24 hours later and the ebook is still not ready for download. My order info says “Open Order — Being Processed”. I used their click-to-call help service twice today to find out why I should have to wait ANY amount of time for a digital download. So far, no luck.

Bogus.
