PalmORB ======= Is it sane to use the Palm device as a simple status display? I'm not sure. But it is possible with the PalmORB [1]. What it does: "PalmOrb is software that allows you to use your PalmOS device as a LCD status display for your computer! ... PalmOrb works by pretending to be (or emulating) a real LCD; a Matrix Orbital LK204-25 LCD" (description taken from [1]). Well, some software on the PC side is necessary and thus it is limited mostly to Linux/Windows computers (no IRIX support, I assume). On the Palm side, anything that run at least Palm OS 2.0 should be OK. By the way, do you know the Palmorama [2]? References: [1] http://palmorb.sourceforge.net/ [2] http://www.palmorama.net/
