| Not much for a 320LX I gues. But if you had a Jornada 720, then there are tons of news. We managed to run the latest Debian on it and make a 128MB RAM upgrade |

| Hail Zara, Lord of cats and small things.
No one has written a review or submitted anything for news posting for a while 
I feel that quite a lot has happened... but my brain is too fried right now to remember anything useful here because all I want is sleep.
What are you getting up to with your 320? |

| Actually I also got a 320LX recently to explore the path of a monochrome HPC.
So far my biggest gripe is the rather poor display quality. It's so hard to read both with and without the slimy backlight.
Perhaps my next project is to hack the screen with some bright white LEDs.

| Funny enough I just dug through a lot of CE1.0 software and tried it all on my 320lx! Still a great machine, even though it doesn't like my 1GB CF card much 
If anyone's bored, I can share the remaining untested CE 1.0 software!
All I do for now is sorting them by whether they work on Windows CE 1.0, as well as put the version number in the folder structure, and put MIPS and SH3 binaries in separate directories
It's fun to try software that probably no one has even used once in 15 years  |

| Nice to know I'm not the only one who still feels that way, Karpour.  |

| Yeah absolutely! I'm currently trying to find a system of sorting things logically, so most things can be seen just from the folder structure
Heres what I came up with so far:
AppName/
index.json <- metadata such as appname, author, publisher, publishingdate, categories
README.txt <- original readme
v1.0/
README.txt <- version-specific readme, if applicable
CE1.0/ <- Minimum required CE version
SH3/
app.exe
MIPS/
app.exe
v2.0/
CE2.0/
SH3/
app.sh3.cab
SH3_MIPS_SETUP/ <- setup files for desktop install
setup.exe

| Late reply is late.
I typed up some draft letters on it, went pretty good. Managed to snag a 256 MB CF card from my attic and it's working great. I also managed to score the Microsoft Entertainment Pack for Windows CE, so I'll be looking forward to installing that into this lil guy soon. Other than basic drafting, calenderness and such it's been pretty good. |

NO! DON'T HURT THE 320 BOI! |

| Are the 320LX and 360LX screens basically the same monochrome screen? My 360 screen reads well in the sunshine, filling the niche for which it was purchased. |

| Yes, they are, except the 320 has a green backlight while the 360 has a white one. The experience is quite different! |
