[Stegger]

Hi,

Thanks in advance,
Stegger

PDA users UNITE!!

I have a Dell Axim X5 with a 1 GB Compact Flash card and 128 MB SD memory card, so I can fit plenty of crap on there.

I actually haven't found too much of use in terms of SOFTWARE for PocketPCs (and virtually nothing for PalmOS). I do however, know that Mark over at Creative Mountain Games has some proudcts that work reasonably well on a palmtop platform. Any of his PDFs are definately readable, though slightly slow to load. His generators also work fairly well on pocket pc. Check out the link in my profile or here and see what you can find.

If you can pick up a foldable keyboard for your pda, it makes an incredibly useful note-taking device. That's what I mainly use the PDA for in games, especially as a player.

I really wanted to get a good keyboard for my Toshiba e335. Any suggestions on good folding keyboard brands?

Anyone know what the MB count for the Plexus - SRD Revised - Spells (Bundle)
is unzipped? It say 11.1 zipped on the site...
And I'd be interested in hearing about a good keyboard as well...

As far as keyboards go, I just went with the one that Dell has on their site. I think HP makes one of nearly exactly the same design.

Blastin--

The Plexus BSM is about 10 megs unzipped, the Plexus Monsters pdf is about 6 megs unzipped.

The complete spells bundle all unzipped is, if I'm doing my quick recollection right, about the same size as you guessed. Zipping up PDFs doesn't do much for them in terms of size--it just helps bundle them together.

Thanks...that could come in very handy...I'll have to take another look at it.
Also gonna check those other threads.

Just downloaded DS Forgeworks PPC. Looks good. I was wondering what people thought of it. Oh, and I noticed the text below. Anyone know if it works with PocketPC 2003 Platform?

**DS Forgeworks PPC is a lightweight application for handhelds running the PocketPC 2002 platform. **

I use DS Forgeworks on my Dell Axim quite a bit when I DM (random monsters and XP calc.) I have yet to use it as a player.
