Palm "help" forums are anything but

Last month I asked a question at the Palm Help Forums, well it's been one month and still no reply.

A couple of days ago, I ask the same question at Brighthand and get an answer within two hours.


You would think Palm would be more supportive to their customers, but it seems like they don't care. The so-called "help forums" are just there to make Palm seem helpful, but they really aren't.

Pluto loses status as a planet

I found this on news.bbc.co.uk and thought it was worth spreading the words, here it is.

"Astronomers vote to strip Pluto of its status as a planet, effectively meaning it will be airbrushed out of textbooks."

Review of Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3

Tonight I installed Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3 (the latest IE7 version) from the Microsoft website for testing. I was dissapointed with the experience.


I uninstalled it, and have IE6 again.


IE7 is supposed to be able to support the content type application/xhtml+xml (a feature Microsoft lacked in IE7), but as I found out in my test, it doesn't. IE7 reacted the same way IE6 does to a web document sending that content type.


Another little annoyance is since IE is integrated into the Windows Operating System, IE effects the whole computer. I have a multi-card reader built into my computer that allows me to read various cards such as Secure Digital (SD) Cards and Sony Memorystick. Having IE7 on my computer "broke" the multi-card reader. When I unstalled it, going back to IE6 the multi-card reader worked again.

This is just another thing that Microsoft needs to work on fixing. In the meantime my browser of choice is Firefox, it has yet to let me down.

Beware of Pachi Paradice

On April 12, 2006 I ordered a 3 Sword Wall Display Rack from Amazon.com
The shipper was Pachi Paradice.
My order was late, and after contacting the shipper and getting no response, I had to take up the issue with Amazon directly. After a couple of emails with Amazon I was finally able to get my item from Pachi Paradice.

Keep in mind that this whole time, Pachi Paradice failed to respond to any of my emails. I left a rating of 1 out of 5 stars on the Amazon.com feedback page with this comment:

The dilivery was late, when contacting the shipper they never replied which left me wondering this whole time what happened. I was supposed to get item by April 21 and got it April 26 with no contact from the shipper as to why. Also it came chipped, no invoice, and I had to put it together myself which was NOT put in the description. The shipper is unprofessional and no one should buy from them

Two days AFTER this feedback was on the Amazon.com website, I recieved an email from Pachi Paradice saying "Your feedback is unfair, you didn't give us time.....", obviously this is total bull since they had plenty of time to respond to my emails and they never replied to a single one.

When I finally got my item shipped, it was shipped from "Guy Robillard", not "Pachi Paradice" according to the records on Amazon.com.

Also, Pachi Paradice says on their "about seller" page that they are from "Massachusets", yet the return address on the package when it finally came a week late, it said "Louisiana".

Pachi Paradice has lied about everything. I'd never buy from them again and I'd advice to anyone that asks me, not to buy from them either.

BUYER BEWARD! When shopping on Amazon.com, never buy from the company Pachi Paradice!

I've shopped on Amazon.com before and never had a problem with other sellers. Pachi Paradice is the only seller on Amazon.com that I ever had a problem with, a total nightmare.

In my opinion, Pachi Paradice is the devil themsevles and should not be trusted under any circumstances.
