9:45 p.m.

Portable Mail is pretty cool... it looks just like UNIX system mail (/usr/ucb/mail) with enhancements for DOS. I had an earlier version that was written for an 80 x 25 screen and told the author of my difficulties. He sent me the present version, which includes a set screen 40 16 command that works great on the HP 95LX. I haven't figured out how to reply to E-mail yet. It looks like the program requires an editor (like the MS-DOS Edlin program) to provide that... the 95LX's MEMO doesn't cut it. I wanted to put Edlin on my 95LX anyway and this is a good excuse.

I'll do that when I get back. For now, I can read my mail on the plane and use MEMO to take down any notes.

The guy across the aisle from me is recording his thoughts on a micro-cassette recorder. He's probably going to have a secretary transcribe it into a computer later. It's too bad everyone doesn't have a Palmtop. I think it's going to take pen-based units for folks like him to think about converting. Besides, you can't play Chess with a recorder.
