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. HotSyncing is so supremely simple - stick the Palm in its cradle, press a button, and you're done...

...apparent stiffness delivering lines in the few scenes we saw. Forget his almost pitiable, parody-of-himself speech to the advertiser crowd, which basically consisted solely of his catchphrases - "Bam!" "Kick it up a notch!" and "Happy happy!" All you need to know about "Emeril" is that its highlight reel - mind you, the funniest few seconds culled from an entire slaved-over pilot - actually used "You are the weakest link, goodbye" as a punchline...
