Every second is of infinite value.
- Johann von Goethe
Well so far the fall out from the new VISTA computer has been minimal. I really like the new format for Word etc. There is a bit of a learning curve but basically all the old stuff is there and some cool new stuff so I'm ok with that. 
However...I'm really sad that my Palm Pilot will not SYNC with the new computer. I talked to the Palm Pilot people yesterday and basically their software is not compatible with the new 64 bit technology. I think that is just WRONG. Heck my EQ5 and EQ6 work just fine with the computer...What is wrong with those Palm People??? I sooo love my Palm Pilot my whole life is on this little thing. I simply cannot go back to a paper calendar and lets not forget my contact list, always at the tip of my fingers! I'm hoping that there is a magic program out there that can convert/read my Palm software and make my little palm pilot happy again. I still have all my info stored on the handheld I just need for the handheld to talk to my PC! Surely Bill Gates and the gang would not make me have to resort to a Palm Pilot such as this one... I mean come on...people! It may come to me having to purchase a Blackberry or something like
that! I'm slightly over making too many more technology changes just prior to Houston Quilt Market and Wedding! So for today I'll be using the Palm Pilot pictured here!
Debbie and I are worked on our BOM we are debuting in Houston this fall. Things are moving along. I'm really thrilled about this project. I will take a picture of the quilt and post it soon. (its on the list for today!) We are developing 3 different settings (one thimble, two thimble and 3 thimble settings) for the blocks so that people can choose the setting that fits them the best! It takes a lot of work to get a program developed like this (back to that writing process etc.) but we are a good team and things are lookin good!!!!
I went to guild yesterday and tried to put aside my TO DO list for a couple of hours and relax. It didn't work! I just needed to be here working on the list and feeling good about that. I know that I need to stick with my little quote above and I will be fine..Keeping focused on making the most of every little second.
Ok the committee #$%^&*()@#$%^&* woke me up at 4 a.m....I may need a little nap later but right now I'm going to get dinner going in the Crock Pot (yum yum...Sirloin Tip Roast cookin away) then I'm going to the studio and I'm not coming down all day....Sewing my brains out.....making the most of every second right?
Have a quilty day,
Pat

Yum I'm coming over for dinner LOL! I am glad Vista is playing nice. Can't wait to see you on Saturday!!!
Have you loaded your Palm software on your laptop? It might not be as convenient, but it would still allow you to use your Palm. I ran into that problem with my Sony PDA. It wouldn't sync. with my Apple. Over time it died, so that problem resolved itself.
Please share the BOM settings with us. I have the blocks done, but would love some options on the setting.
See you this weekend. Not sure how I'm getting there, but will be there!
My DH had the same problem with trying to keep his Palm up-to-date with his new phone. We ended up with a Blackberry and I transferred all his info to Outlook.
He went with much trepidation kicking and screaming all the way, but loves the whole system now. He's not much of a computer person, but I was able to give him basics one step at a time.
I didn't find any magical conversion program, but didn't have a lot of time to look either. I just pulled up the palm window and the outlook window and did cut and paste for all the info. Not fun, but was do-able in a reasonable amount of time.
