...once in a long time, Fireman can afford to gloat--and even hint that Reebok might again have a shot at unseating Nike, the champion of footwear.

For more than eighteen months now, ever since my Filofax got sucked into the vortex created by a cinema seat and my chronic forgetfulness, my Palm V has been my personal religion. Not only do I have every single piece of information important to my life stashed in there, I also have it regularly backed up on my PC for safekeeping.
