wow, some other Palm system diehards! One or two anyway! What do you folks do for fun, count the number of resets each week? Just kidding. I don't have to do that many,

I have a Palm type device which I use from time to time. I check in
here from time to time to see what other people are doing.

My Palm Treo is occasionally used for keeping track of addresses, phone
numbers, birthdays, prescription numbers etc, etc.

I find that I have to copy the data to my Under Desk Computer so that I
will have a backup when the Palm-Top device goes on strike. It's
currently working and I hope to keep it working.

I am a longtime diehard. Owned a succession of pocket PCs (remember those?) including some early black and white models and the very first t-mobile pocket pc phone. I wibsequently went back to Palm and although the Pocket PC had the world's best character recognition (built in, and an even better one on the CD), I learned Graffitti and then discovered Jot, which is very close to Microsoft's character recognition, only quite a bit slower (no doubt to the Palm,s Dragonball processor). I have been with Palm ever since, and discovered the Kyocera 7135 Palm (Handspring) phone at a time when I couldn't afford it, but soon after could and have used it for ears and continue to use it today. Verizon in the U.S. quit activating ghe 7135 in 2008 but I am apparently grandfathered i. (I just spoke with Verizon cust svc a few days ago ad confirmed this), at least until my circuit board quits (the part that contains the IMEI, obviously). I replaced the buttons on the phone just last week, and as long as e circuit board hold out I have enough hardware parts to rebukild the phone four or five times! :-)

How about if you repeat your post with <carriage-return> and <linefeed>
every 80 to 120 characters per line.

What you are doing right now runs right off the right hand margin. I
suspect that this peculiar behavior is due to your use of a MicroSoft
Product to compose your text and subsequently cutting and pasting into
your message.

I am not going to try to reformat it so I can read it. It's your
responsibility to make your message readable.

Just assume that the recipient is using a DEC VT-100 terminal or a
similar device to read your message.

Well, I'm using trn on an xterm and it works fine for me...

[Richard B. Gilbert]

Not sure what trn is! Unix terminology?

How about Thunderbird:v.17.0.4, released: March 11, 2013

Thunderbird seems to handle everything BUT your posts! I'd say that you
are in the minority.

Your posts and those of one or possibly two others are THE ONLY posts
that exhibit this problem.

I can live without you!

Plonk!

Dont't worry, but maybe you can set your name, whicih appears empty in the
newsgroup?

I guess that other guy just needed to vent his bad mood on someone.

And if you regularly use Newsgroups, may I recommend Newstap as an
excellent Usenet App for the iPad?
