This site has helped me de-bug so many things so quickly.

Visor should consider giving you stock options. I'm actually stunned they didn't think of doing something like this for themselves.

I don't know how it's working for the developers of the site, but it's been an incredible resource for me!

VisorCentral is all that and more! My desire to consider the Visor came from reading a Second Looks article in PC Magazine back in December. From there I naturally went to the Handspring site to check things out. My next step was to do an internet search for "Handspring Visor"... that led me here. At the time, a great majority of the postings here were negative... mainly the customer service issues. To say the least, at times it felt like a lynch mob mentality. I waded through it all, taking a lot of it with a grain of salt. In between the flaming, etc, there was a ton of extremely useful info about the Visor, the Springboard, and of course, software. Well, needless to say, is was VisorCentral that CONVINCED me to get a Visor (my very first PDA, by the way). I have not regretted that decision one bit. Now, more than ever, I utilize VisorCentral to keep up with what's going on in the Visor world. I visit here daily (at times it's an obsession ) and benefit each and every time.

As said above... an incredible resource!!!

TOP 10 WAYS TO TELL YOU'RE ADDICTED TO YOUR PALM
10. You've caught yourself tapping buttons on your computer screen.
9. When you pick up a pen or pencil you immediately notice how thick it feels.
8. When using pen and paper, you have to force yourself to move your hand across the page as you write.
7. Your regular handwriting includes Graffitti characters (and you don't notice until someone else points it out).
6. When asked for your business card you pull out your Palm.
5. You and your dog are the only ones in your family who can hear your Palm's alarm
4. A color screen seems like overkill.
3. You own a pen that won't write on paper.
2. Your idea of an emergency kit includes a paper clip.
And the number one way you can tell you're addicted to your Palm:
1. You've used your Palm as a flashlight.

hi matty.

sit down and understand that if there is EVER a moment in your daily life where you can't control the urge to play Rally1000 or read that AvantGo channel, email and we'll be there.

Wait, I'm proud to be a Visorholic ... does that mean I need a 12 step program? I don't think I'm wrong (my girlfreind, on the other Palm (pun intended) has VERY different ideas.

You've got to know HOW to introduce it there Christopher...

First you start with a little AvantGo. just a few channels at first....then when she's starting to select a couple of channels for herself, you introduce Rally1000, and then follow that up with Vindigo and a nice little upgrade they call 'silverscreen'. and when she's just getting comfortable, you load up DateBk4 and she's on your side!!

worked for me...

uhh..oops...that's right...i'm supposed to be weaning myself off the visor...not hooking people i know to it...right? RIGHT?

Ok... I promise that if I ever start swapping Springboards in dark alleys I'll immediately seek admission to the Betty Ford clinic...

Until then, I can control myself. It's not a problem. I can stop at anytime. Now... where did I put that stylus?...

It all started so innocently...I was just a social Visor user. A little Datebook here, a little ToDo there...nothing I couldn't handle. Then came the ebook reading in the wee hours, the Mahjonng game while waiting for the laundry to get done! I started wanting more and more software...a new case..a fancy stylus...MY GOD I'm a Visorholic!
