How to Do Everything with Your Visor Book

Two experienced technical journalists have pooled their talents to produce what is both a reference volume and a how-to book--one to have handy as a comprehensive library of methods and applications, yet suitable as reading material when you are whiling away travel time looking for fresh uses for your Visor or Visor Deluxe.The Visor is a palm-held device, a clone of the Palm (formerly known as PalmPilot), and functions using the same operating system, Palm OS. It is a product of Handspring, and was invented by Jeff Hawkins, the inventor of the original Palm. This kind of device has been dubbed Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and many users think of it merely as a handy adjunct to their PC or Mac, capable of doing "small" jobs when away from the "proper" computer. How to Do Everything with Visor dispels that concept, demonstrating that these Visor models (and similar PDAs, to be fair) are computers in their own right, capable of handling an office environment as readily as a computerised diary.There are clear and succinct instructions about how to use standard programs and options, and moreover how to exploit them for your own style of operation. There are also interesting details of the operation of utilities that can be added to the Visor, along with useful guidelines. Crystal clear instructions take you through processes exploiting the interface between your Visor and your PC (or Mac). There is an eye-opening discussion of life (and enhanced life) with Graffiti, the famous but irksome technology that translates (in theory) penned inscriptions into text characters. --Wilf HeyRead More
