Same. Don't use the palm. But keep adding to contacts. I found a an easy app to convert Palm contacts to Android. It works. But all that issues with Google! So computer is still back up still works in Windows 10.

Also had one of the best contact apps. Transferable - syncable with all operating systems. And easy to back up.

To this day, trying to hand write an e when printing quickly? Your hand still does a double joined c. And a T is written like a 7. It's amazing how the muscle memory stays with you. It was so simple to learn, and stayed with you. Swype

The palm hand writing system was amazing. Instead of trying to teach the computer to recognize everyone's handwriting, people - the users, adapted by learning a few very simple rules, to write notes. It took about 3 minutes to learn.

Maybe the driving data has nothing to do with crash, or to put it another way, the log of the driver's route and actions up to the point of the crash, is the point.

Don't forget, the electrician, mechanic, plumber, etc, also gets free education. It's not free to go to college to be an apprentice or master, in North America.

I agree. Once you try it, you see that it is truly Windows 10 as it should be. Very small install, with minimum extraneous junk. Works on most, even older laptops etc. Controllable update, telemetry, etc.

Brilliant idea. We have thought of that before, when in a museum, where you know there is so much more history and information than just a label. Surprised no one had done it yet.

Interesting idea. What if electricity and water were free? Aren't they essential also? Instead of ubi; electricity, Water, and energy - basic amount to survive (heat or cold.) Together with medicine. And education. That would make a hu

Why not free internet? Seeing as it's now an essential service. (Although totally crazy that we are so dependent on it.)

Here is an article about 4 men that died next to a waste rock pile in BC, Canada, from lack of oxygen. Another problem is almost all health and safety sensors use oxygen as a baseline for testing, so in a lack of oxygen they do not work acc

Very good proposition. This can happen next to old mines, waste rock piles especially. Not so much that the CO2 kills you, but it displaces the oxygen. You enter an oxygen deficient environment. Suffocation can happen almost instantly. Si

It was a useful tool. Still would be. Online searches for people are hard now. But note, those were limited databases. Phone number and address. No birth dates, security numbers, etc. It was a tool, not a weapon.

Portable phones and audiobooks are great for getting things like that done. (Just not mathematical calculations or analyzing scientific theory.)

This is a similar sentiment to many people who originally posted valuable information to Wikipedia, which later was deleted. What about historical people? Or historical actions? Science? Just because it is not a modern science fact, and is

Some things you can't recreate. But vacuum cleaners, refrigeration, freezers, coffee machines, kettles, dishwashers, and even driers, are all possible and available. Not sure about a microwave, but normal heating elements are there.

I agree. We also built and lived on a sea going boat. You learn a lot about infrastructure to make yourselves independent. As early as the late 70's, we had solar connected to a 12v DC system. That allowed us to run lights, radios, nav

Look into country cabins, boats and campers. Especially the first though. Many are built with only solar for power. They have 12 volt wiring for 12v lights, and 12v outlets. The only AC is if someone plugs in an inverter to a 12v outlet. If
