Newbie Post - CE 6

Show all headers | View raw

Hi,
I am a programmer by trade so I was intrigued when I saw these little
CE mini-laptops out of China. I was looking for a replacement for my
old Palm IIIC so I bought one of these.  I did not expect much so I am
not disappointed.  All that I wanted to do was to be able to keep my
lengthy list of user names and passwords in an encrypted file and I
already found an app to do that.
But, now I want to see what I can do with this thing.  Can anyone give
me some direction?  I have several questions.
CE seems very old so are there any good/current forums left?
Are there any good newbie/hints pages?
Where is a good place to start with CE? what kinds of apps/tools/
utilities do most people use?
Are there any good Word/Excel compatible apps (freeware if possible)?
Is there any way to *expand* the RAM memory onto the CF card? Or, does
it do it automatically?
Is the internal mem-chip replaceable with a larger module? I have
128Mb.

I really enjoy this little thing.  It packs a lot of punch for $85.
USB2, 2Gb + more with CF, wireless, internet, sound ports.  I think
that the screen is easy to read too.

I hope to become a CF convert.  Any help is appreciated. Feel free to
refer me to an existing, older thread if you are tired of answering
these questions.
Thanks,
Marty
