I'm glad they've got a spreadsheet. Now...does anyone have a serial cable I can borror until I convince my wife that spending $30.00 so I can hack my iPAQ is a good idea? OR...has anyone installed familiar/qte through an usb cable, and the handhelds.org site is just wrong when it says it can't be done?

Hi Wesley, I installed QTe on my ipaq a few weeks ago. I does in fact, have a spread sheet. I haven't really used it that much, but its there. You might be able to get an idea on how it looks and feels if you try to set up QTe for your PC before you actually install it (http://qpe.sourceforge.net/x86.html). I think QTe is great for my ipaq. There are few things missing, for example i can't figure out how to get the databook to remind me of appointments. I haven't tried to irsync with a plam yet, so i can't say if it works or not.
good luck with installing, --Brad

It looks like I'm finally going to have time to go out and pick up a serial cable so I can get brother Bill off of my iPAQ. But I've got a question for anyone who has done this ahead of me:
Are there any speadsheets that have either been created for familiar linux or Embedded QT? The QTpalmtop web site has got some screen shots, and one has a link to a spreadsheet, but they don't mention it and I can't find the package anywhere. Unfortuately, I've got to have a spreadsheet so I can keep track of hours and expenses and such, so I'm kinda stuck, maybe I shoulda gotten a vr3?
Also, are there any utilities out there that would allow me to do irsync with palms?

sorry, I don't have any other way to talk to my ipaq.

No, it's right. You really need the serial. The reason is that you have to download the kernel and the root filesystem image to the bootloader which sticks them in flash. The bootloader doesn't know how to speak USB. Scott
