Re: what about other programs?

Mxgian,
Good questions, which I should of answered in the original post.
But first. I have only been using the prism for about a week and I find it difficult to go back to the deluxe. I'm already used to the power button on the other side. :-)
Now back to your questions.
The first time (before the first post) I tried surfing the web with ProxiWeb I got a fatal exception so I stopped trying.
After your post, I tried again.
I didn't surf for a long while, but I was able to surf with proximail. I went to http://www.mrshowbiz.com and read a story about Spike lee. I went to Yahoo. I also surf with the avantgo browser and was able to get my mail, with multi mail.
So, I guees it does work but would it work if all I had was the deluxe and not the prisim to set it up with? Also, if you run into problem getting connected the first time like I did will omnisky help you? Out of the four calls I made, only one asked me what unit I was using. Hmm.
Surfing the web on the prism is much more enjoyable than on the deluxe even the black and white sites.
