What do you know, it's the TRGpro!

Fredlet's (dream) summer vacation
It's summer. While your editors may toil endlessly in the deep, dark, hidden caverns where the super-secret PalmPower editorial offices are hidden away, you can go on vacation. We're not bitter. No, not us. Not much, anyway. In this fine article, Fredlet takes you on a guided tour of the fun stuff you can do with your Palm computer to make your vacation more pleasant. We'll just chew on our chains while you go. [PalmPower Magazine, July 1999]

HotSync tips and tricks
All Palm device users are pretty darn familiar with the HotSync capability of their devices. But if you want to do a HotSync at home and at work, or share a computer among two Palm device users, things get just a little trickier. In this helpful tutorial, Fredlet takes you through making it happen. [PalmPower Magazine, April 1999]

Quicksheet: a real Palm computer spreadsheet program

For February, our hard-nosed contributing editor looks at Quicksheet, a fully-functional spreadsheet for your Palm organizer. How does Quicksheet stack up? Will it make bean counters everywhere topple over in fits of pleasure? Read this article to find out. And if you happen to have a favorite spreadsheet fiend you know and love, be prepared to do some serious catching. That guy's gonna tip right over. [PalmPower Magazine, February 1999]

The Palm VII, DevCon, and me
By now, unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard of the forthcoming Palm VII computer. We sent our intrepid reporter into the heart of the Silicon Valley jungle to report on the 1998 Palm Computing Developer's Conference. In this in-depth trip report, contributing editor Fredlet gives us her first impressions of the Palm VII, points out some of the high points of the developer's conference, and introduces us to the unfortunate concept of "geek sex". [PalmPower Magazine, January 1999]

On the go with the GoType keyboard
Every so often an add-on product comes along that seems totally obvious. So obvious, in fact, that you might wonder why Palm Computing didn't create it themselves. One such product is the GoType keyboard, a device that looks like the strange offspring of a Palm cradle and a laptop keyboard. In this detailed review, our intrepid contributing editor, Fredlet, takes the GoType out for a spin. Should you rush out to buy your very own keyboard? Read Fredlet's review and find out. [PalmPower Magazine, December 1998]

Find your way with Quo Vadis mapping
This month, contributing editor Fredlet shows another great mapping product. This month, Fredlet reviews the interestingly named Quo Vadis, a great tool for finding your way to Grandma's house (or an important business meeting) using the Palm organizer. [PalmPower Magazine, December 1998]

Cross-platform backup with Backup Buddy
To go forward, you must backup. So says the advertising for a leading desktop backup program. But the same is true for users of handheld devices. You live out of your PalmPilot and while you can backup your built-in applications using the Palm Desktop, there's probably a lot of other information on your PalmPilot that needs to be safe. In this important article, contributing editor S. Fred Green (Fredlet) describes how the well-regarded Backup Buddy program can keep your Palm data safe and secure. Skip this article at your peril. [PalmPower Magazine, November 1998]

Macintosh backup with Palm Buddy
It's two...two...two reviews for the price of one. That's right. This month, both Jim McCarthy and contributing editor Fredlet turned in reviews of Palm Buddy, the wonderful Macintosh backup tool. Rather than choosing, you get to read both, each with it's own unique viewpoint. If you use both a Macintosh and a Palm device, you're definitely going to want to read this article. [PalmPower Magazine, November 1998]

Fredlet reviews the UniMount
The UniMount is one of the coolest PalmPilot gadgets to come along in a very long time. While it definitely appeals to the gadget freak in all of us, it will also appeal to all the road-warriors who need to use their organizers while on the road. UniMount is an ingenious device that allows you to mount your Palm organizer in your car and have it handy while traveling (although you never want to use it while the vehicle is in motion). In her trademark style, S. Fred Green reviews the UniMount and tells us why she gave it 4.25 marmots out of five. Extra credit if you know what a marmot is. [PalmPower Magazine, October 1998]

Keep in touch with One Touch
PalmPilot email is a very hot topic. Last month's email tutorial was one of our most popular articles ever. Therefore, by popular demand, we're running another great email article this month. One of our favorite and best-informed Palm enthusiasts, Fredlet, spent some serious time with JP Systems' OneTouch Communicator and this is her in-depth report. Communicator's an interesting product that does some things the other email products we reviewed don't. So if you're considering having email in the Palm of your hand, you need to read this article. [PalmPower Magazine, August 1998]

Using a keyboard with your PalmPilot
Graffiti is swell, but wouldn't it be cool to have a keyboard for your PalmPilot? Well you can and in this helpful article, Fredlet tells you how. Now you can be on the go and still answer your email and write notes that are longer than a sentence. Want proof? Fredlet's entire article was written using a keyboard on a PalmPilot. [PalmPower Magazine, July 1998]
