Today I read the first three chapters of Essential .NET Volume 1 by Don Box. I also started a book report and will add to it as I read more. So far, I am anxious to read later chapters as the first 3 (at least) were almost entirely review.

I originally reported that there were no upgrades to my iPaq 3870. Fortunately, that has changed. Upgrades for H5400, H3900 or H3800 series iPaqs are now available here for $29.99.

I came across this on Slashdot and thought it was cool as heck. Check out the RMPT handheld printers written about here and here. The technology is from PrintDreams. One thing I don't quit understand is how the printer knows where on the page you are before it prints the first swipe. Presumably you have to scan over the edge or some such.
