SOFTWARE

• myREMOTE -- I use to manage my numerous TV, VCR, and stereo remote controls at home.
• BATTman -- battery management software, which helps me stay on top of my battery levels and warns me when my juice is getting low.
• SWITCH! multi-tasking software that lets me multi-task DOS applications.
• 95Buddy (ON DISK) -- I use Version 3.1b to automate countless aspects of my system. This fine program adds an almost incalculable amount of utility to my 95LX. It makes MEMO a whole different program. The new SmartCaps feature of this program alone is worth the $40 registration fee. You shouldn't even consider using a 95LX without this wonderful program.
• ACT! -- a contact manager for the 95LX that helps me manage the hundreds of professional and personal contacts I maintain. ZAPCARDS is a unique feature that creates a new record automatically from data transmitted via the infrared port from another Palmtop running ACT!.
• ZIP (ON DISK) -- a file transfer program that helps me move programs and data back and forth from the 95LX to my notebook and desktop computers. The ZIP program is very fast (115,200 bps) and works in conjunction with numerous batch files and macros I have set up on the Palmtop to make my backups as painless as possible.
• Entertainment -- I use numerous entertainment programs to make my 95LX a lot more fun -- especially when I'm demonstrating the computer to people who have never seen a Palmtop before. These include: SND -- a sound generation program with various batch files to send Arnold Schwartzenegger's voice or raucous laughter to the Palmtop's speaker; SOKOBAN -- puzzle program; HPTRIS (ON DISK) -- a Palmtop version of the Tetris game; U-SOUNDS (ON DISK) useful sounds program (try the "Falling Bombs" at your next staff meeting when someone drops a "manhole cover" on another department head; WMTELL (ON DISK) and BUGLE (ON DISK) music; CHESS (ON DISK) and INVADERS (ON DISK) programs are some of the best shareware/freeware games to demonstrate the potential of your 95LX to your friends (all work and no play makes the palmtopper a dull boy).
• Text Editors -- I use various editor programs including the built-in MEMO. I also use H.COM (ON DISK) (an HP specific version of the TERSE/SLIM editor with surprisingly complete features); VDE (ON DISK) word processor (its ability to directly read/write WordPerfect files is great); and Craig Finseth's FREYJA (ON DISK) (for its customizable "C" source code).
