...figured that if I spent a lot of time with the new PalmVII, the first wireless organizer to evolve from the blockbuster PalmPilot, my hard-nosed journalist's cynicism would quickly nuzzle aside my techno-infatuation. But after squiring the VII around for a few weeks, I'm more in love than ever. For years the notion of an easy-to-use device that connects man to Net--from anywhere--has been the stuff of geek dreams. Now, at long last, vaporware has been made silicon. On my VII, I've received e-mail from my wife while riding under...
...maybe 3Com is intentionally trying to roll out the device slowly, perhaps as a way of ensuring that Palm.Net can handle what would otherwise be crushing demand? Since the gizmo is being sold only in the New York City area until it's distributed nationally in the fall, I'm backing the crushing-demand theory. Later, an all-you-can-eat service could keep at bay all those folks thinking of buying devices that use Microsoft's Windows CE, an operating system that competes with Palm...
...m all for choice. But the fund industry may have overdone it already with 6,343 U.S.-based stock funds. A fund, at its core, is about easy, one-stop diversification.

The next tune, Shame, is in the head of a rich coot ranting about the young woman (and the gun) he needs to be happy. The third song, I'm Dead (but I Don't Know It), is the plaint of a pop singer who, after 30 years, has "nothing left to say/ But I'm gonna say it anyway." Newman dares you to wonder if he thinks he is that played-out star--and if, in the album's closing...
Shades of Frank Sinatra. The opening paragraph of your article sounded like the 1940s accounts of Sinatra's appearance at the Paramount Theater in New York City, when he was mobbed by bobby-soxers. I don't know about Martin's music (I'm a Mozartian), but it's nice for a change to see a pop singer who doesn't look as if he came out of a garbage dump. Good luck to him!
