If you don't yet have a Palm handheld, read on for Travis Butler's
review of the Handspring Visor, the Palm OS-based device from the
original creators of the PalmPilot. Old software also continues to
hold our attention this week, as we consider the implications of
last week's poll and look at the elderly DiskTop and DiskTracker,
a modern competitor. In the news, we cover eMerge 1.6.2 and pass
on an important warning to iBook and PowerBook (FireWire) owners.
