Check out the pictures! Note that while the pictures are great, the downloads are SLOW even on the mirror site, which has better connectivity, because the "thumbnails" aren't really thumbnails, just rescaled, via HTML, images of the full size images. That means instead of loading about (for the pictures from the 19th) 200kB worth of thumbnails, you download about 4.5 MB worth of stuff. It would REALLY help if the "thumbnails" were really thumbnails.

But, you see, Palm display is not designed for long-time readings. I mean I tried reading news using Yanoff and found it very hard for my eyes. BTW, you can find lots of tools on palmgear or palmzone sites which do different kinds of fetching, sorting and storing.

Congratulations on your radio appearance! Hi! If you consider mp3 (which would be a good choice because it is available on practically any platform, (almost like NetBSD:-) then consider bladeenc from the ports for encoding the raw audio file. We had very good results with it even using high bitrates.
