Re: palm pilots in physics?

[Sheron Snyder <snyders@VOYAGER.NET>]

Dave Vernier of Vernier Portland has either in development or on the shelf,
ways and means of using the Palm Pilots in the Physics Class.

See his web site

www.vernier.com

Then click of the palm icon.

Folks I know also use the Palm as their go to device with their telescopes.

I love my (a handspring visor) for the periodic table of the elements, 2
planetarium programs, Heavens above via Avant go, a calculator and that is
just the beginning.
