If it's any encouragement, I've got a FujiFilm DPC-CF which is a
CompactFlash card adapter for an xD card which works perfectly well in
both my Psion Series 5mx and Series 7.

There appears to be a Minolta SD-CF1 adapter (model 8700-950), that
looks like it's a Type I, but I can't seem to find anywhere that
stocks it.

Re.: iPhone/iPod Touch You can get a good agenda program in the
Applestore. The main problem is the lack of a keyboard and how would
you type anything slightly longer on an Iphone/Ipod touch ?

Best regards,

Itamar

Subject: French SIM card needed for 16 days in Corsica Island


Dear Friends,
I will soon spend a 16 days holiday in Corsica island and I would like
to buy a French SIM card.
I would use it on my mobile phone (for ordinary local phone calls) and
on my USB Internet Key, in order to freely connect my Aluminium
MacBook to the Internet (also several hours each day !)
May I have your suggestions about:
1)which French Mobile provider should I contact
2)which might be the most appropriate contract/formula (considering my
needs,listed above)
3) a nice place near the Bastia harbour, where I could buy such SIM
???
Many Thanks and Best Greetings from Rome !
:-)

Giorgio
(always fully in LOVE with...several MC 218 !)

Dear Friends,

only recently, I realized that my previous thanking message, did
not get through as I did mistakenly send it to the ....old (and
obviously wrong !) Digest email address, still stored on my Mail
system !
:-(((

I sincerely apologise, I repeat it here and warmly thank you ALL again !

Ciao from Roma,
:-)

Giorgio

Just want to thank everyone who's given me advice on recent queries -
to do with PsiWin and Nokia 9300i applications. I haven't made time to
reply specifically to everyone, and now I'm rushing off for 2 weeks'
hols, so I'll make do with this.

Another thing I Definitely Intend To Do Something About Real Soon Now
is to remind the world about the absolutely brilliant PsionWiki I
created a long time ago at http://psionwiki.wikidot.com/and which
I've neglected woefully. The answers to a lot of your problems are
there!

When I get back I intend to share the management of PsionWiki so that
others can help me revive it.

Cheers,

Chris

But of course, you don't have to wait even a second to go there and
contribute to it right now. The clue is in the name it's a wiki!

Since the site was set up this month the number of visits has been:
UK 90 ;  Germany 162 ; USA 114 with about 50 others scattered across the globe.
Visits have settled to around 30 per day at present.
If there are any programs you want researched let me know.
I am still trying to trace Purplesofts Bridge which has gone to ground.
There is still work in progress awaiting replies to letters etc.

Regards  John
