New Stuff
=========

I have got a  RAM stick for Psion Organiser II. It's 256  kB which is a
lot of space  (this particular Organiser II has some  16 kB of build-in
RAM). I'm not sure if I need this stick so badly but it was from United
Kingdom. I'm  not sure if Brexit  will not make come  difficulties with
shipping so I decided to get the stick right now.

I am still rather happy with my Palm Tungsten W. I was even able to got
an "untested,  sold as is" KODAK  PalmPix snap-on camera for  Palm m500
(the T|W  is Palm m5xx so  it is compatible). The  camera was evidently
just very lightly used and in  perfect condition indeed. The main issue
is software  - the old PalmPix.prc  for older PalmPix devices  does not
work on the OS4 and/or m5xx. It starts and then initiates OS error. And
I got my camera without the CD. So  I have had to use the "open source"
TungPix application [1]. It's nice but:
       * the binary file is a shareware version (it requires registration)
       * the source repository is gone
       * the author does not respond (he might not be alive at all)

So one has 30 days to use the application without issues. I still don't
know what happen after that.

The application itself is compatible with all devices which can be used
with this camera (both OS4 and OS5 ones) and has some features that the
KODAK's palmpix.prc does  not have. For example it  can export pictures
directly to the SD  card of the Palm (there are  three file formats for
export: BMP, JPG and PCX).
