Someone told me it would be fun to get a PDA...:takecall: .so I did. I seemed to have learnt how to use it, but am puzzled about a firewall and AV........how do I install a firewall and an AV to it? It seems to auto connect to wireless.....even though my own roaming ISP is in my settings......

Is there an easy way to learn these PDA's without reading 300+ pages???

I DO find it very useful and have put 1GB of storage on it, so it sometimes saves me having to carry my laptop to places on short trips...........

Any replies are most appreciated..... .....but PDA's fun? :eyespop:

Depends on what OS, however there is probably 3rd party software available on the web. I have an old one from Sharp, it runs Linux :armed:

Do you have a Palm, or Pocket PC? ( I have the Tungsten E & T|X)

Orphelia..
These are a few sites for review of software options..
There are several software options available, including 3rd party software as mentionedabove. For me at least, I found that there was a learning curve initially with using my PDA, but it was worth it.. Hope the links helps..

Orphelia.. Glad to help.....!! Yes,.. it is tough when someone offers to help, ?? ...and,.. as you say .."oh well".....
.... selective specialized carpentry may indirectly at times,.. benefit from quick accessed info,.. downloaded to a PDA on job sites,...but this is usually on a case by case bases......

anyway,..glad to help,..hope you get all the answers you needed...!!
