I wanted to transfer my calendar information from my old Palm Treo to my new HTC Droid Eris, via Google. This program worked perfectly. It also transfers Contacts, Tasks, and Memos. If you want to continue to sync your Palm Data, the full program costs $39.95.

]]> Comment on What’s With Vizio Remote Controls? by Helphand http://www.notsofaqs.com/archives/41/comment-page-1#comment-70 Helphand Sun, 04 Oct 2009 01:24:21 +0000 http://www.notsofaqs.com/?p=41#comment-70 OK, got a clue here about why the Vizio remote control stops working. Thing is, it doesn't make sense. I have some Bose speakers that I hook up to my laptop; there are three speakers, two tweeters and one floor woofer. When I connect these up to the laptop and power on the speakers, the Vizio remote stops working. Disconnect the speakers and turn off the power, and the Vizio remote starts working again. Makes no sense, the remote is infrared, the speakers are wired. I don't understand why the remote stops working, but fact is that it does.

]]> Comment on Toshiba Laptop and Windows Vista Hibernation… Recipe for a Dead Battery by Helphand http://www.notsofaqs.com/archives/91/comment-page-1#comment-69 Helphand Sat, 26 Sep 2009 02:08:22 +0000 http://www.notsofaqs.com/?p=91#comment-69 Well, eat crow time. Seems that Windows Update is not the problem after all. At this point I have two suspects left, 1) the hardware setting for the USB mouse was set to permit it to wake up the system, or 2) the Toshiba installed drivers that allow power to USB ports when the system is turned off. I have disabled both and the problem has gone away (even with Windows Update enabled or disabled). Still trying to figure out which one is the real culprit… Well, eat crow time.
