But we're going out with a bang!

This Saturday is a celebration, a celebration of our love of Palm OS and all the many years that we've shared maximizing our use of our beloved PDAs and Smartphones. We will take our usual look at the current state of the Palm OS landscape and a peek at what we think will be coming down the pike in the future, but for the first time, we'll take look back.

Yes, it's been 8 years since we started NPUG and along the way, we've collected a lot of photos, audio clips, presentations and even video clips. So we'll take a few minutes to look back and talk about some of the highlights we've had along the way. We're gonna party like it's 1999 all over again.

And speaking of party, it wouldn't be one if there weren't presents! Our resident "Prize Pimp;, Randy Jones, has done an outstanding job of obtaining over $2000 worth of door prizes for the meeting. You may have heard me say this before, but it's never been more true - if ever there way an NPUG meeting you didn't want to miss, this is it. We have over 100 door prizes to give away, including a Treo 680, so rest assured, if you come to the meeting this Saturday, you're going to go home with plenty of loot.

So why not join us in a fond farewell as we celebrate the past 8 years and passion that we've shared with Palm OS? You definitely won't leave empty handed -- even if it is sticky from all the Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

From remote access, to full-on remote control, we'll walk you through just how easy it is to command your PC from the palm of your hand. Even seen Windows Server 2003 running on your Palm?

For some folks e-mail is a fun way to interact with friends and family. For others it can be a nightmare of overwhelming floods of junk e-mail. Whichever camp you fall into, this month's meeting will look at everything there is to do with e-mail and how you can make it a more efficient aspect of your digital life.

We'll start focusing on the desktop and all the various ways in which you can manage your e-mail. POP3, IMAP, filtering, eliminating SPAM, security, you name it we'll cover it. Oh and if any of those terms seem foreign to you, don't worry, we'll clarify everything as we take things step-by-step.

Once you have a clear understanding of your e-mail, the next obvious step is to make your e-mail mobile so that you can access it from anywhere. We'll discuss what options there are for Palm OS, the best e-mail apps on the market today and show you just how easy it is to manage your mail.

Well, with a full week of hands on experience, Michael will demo the device and pass it around for everyone to try.

It is a nice device, but it's not for everyone. There are plenty of "deal breakers" that may make you think twice about buying one, but like any digital solution, it all boils down to what's right for you.

Although the Treo doesn't come out-of-the box with capability to do advanced call logging, or the ability to integrate your call history with your contacts, but there are an abundance of third party software solutions which all fall under the category of "Call Logs."

Of course switching from Windows to OS X doesn't mean that you have to leave your favorite applications behind. Thanks to software such as Apple's Boot Camp and Parallels Desktop, you can have your cake and eat it too. So after the initial test drive of OS X, we'll focus on how to run Windows on your Mac through the use of Parallels Desktop.

Every now and then we step beyond the boundaries of Palm OS and this is one of those meetings. But if you've ever wondered what it would be like to run a different operating system and how it would impact your PDA use, this is a meeting that you'll surely want to attend.

2. What's Happening In Palm OS

4. OS X - The Basics
OS X is a very advanced and powerful operating system, yet it boasts one of the best user interfaces on the market. We'll start our "test drive" by showing you how OS X is different from Windows and how there really isn't much of an adjustment in switching.

5. What About The Apps?
As great as an Operating System is, it's the applications that really make the difference. So we'll show you some of the application alternatives on the Mac side of things.

6. How Does It Sync?
We're a Palm User Group, so a test drive of Mac OS wouldn't be complete without demonstrating how to sync your Palm. We'll be giving a demo of Missing Sync and touch on what Palm users gain and what they lose by switching to Mac OS.

7. Running Windows - The Best Of Both Worlds
Of of the best parts about Apple's latest hardware is that it can run Windows! That's right, you don't have to give up Windows if you don't want to. We'll discuss briefly BootCamp, but our demo will be on Parallels Desktop and how you can both Windows and MacOS side-by-side. That's right, you can run Vista right along with Mac OS.

8. Giveaways
At the end of the meeting we have a random drawing for door prizes donated by our Sponsors. This month we'll be giving away the following:

Unfortunately, not everyone HotSyncs their device for one reason or another. Sometimes that reason is because HotSync isn't working correctly and causing more harm than good. Luckily, most problems can be easily fixed if you know where to look.

5. Upgrading The Right Way
Unfortunately, when you upgrade to a new device, you can't just HotSync and go about your merry way. To properly upgrade and keep your PDA running smoothly, there are a few small steps you have to take. We'll walk you through the basics so that all your data syncs perfectly the first time.

6. Keeping It Safe
Now that all of your data is living in it's nice new home, it's important that you keep that data safe. We'll conclude the meeting by showing you how to perform an "on-device backup" with products such as BackupMan to ensure that you never lose a single byte.

In most cases, all you need is the basic Treo but there's so much more you can do with not only additional software but also additional hardware as well. We'll take a look at some of the more popular hardware add-ons out there and how to get full usage from your Treo.

3. Things That Palm Forgot
As much as we all love our Palm OS devices, there comes a time when you wish that your device had "just this one" feature. Maybe you wish you had a different way to access your applications, or perhaps you desire a better way to work with moving files back and forth between your desktop and your PDA, or maybe, just maybe, you wish that you had just a little more memory. Well the good news is that there are a TON of cool add-on and accessories that you can use to make your Palm OS device work the way YOU want it to work.

This month Randy Jones is going to show us a truckload of applications that can help us get more usefulness and functionality out of our PDAs. Palm may have forgotten to include an app or two, but thanks to the Palm OS Developer Community, you can fill those small gaps and supercharge your Palm!

Love it or hate it, school places demands on our time and forces us to focus on new goals and new deadlines. To help you get ready for all the readin' rightin' and 'rithmetic, NPUG is going to focus this month on all the ways that you Palm device can lend a hand in yer schoolin'.

If you're a student, we'll show you how to track your grades and assignments, as well as show you how your Palm can help you prepare for college. If you're a teacher, we'll show you how your Palm can help you with lesson plans and even discipline within the classroom. If you're a parent, well arm you with tools that can help you monitor assignments and even make learning fun.

But what if you're not in school and no intention of going back? Well then chances are that every day has it's own type of "finals" in store for you. To help you deal with your daily deadlines, projects and problems, Randy Jones will be giving us a detailed demo of two must-have applications. The first is "Inspiration", which allows you to brainstorm ideas and create mind maps. The second cool application is "Thought Manager", which is great in helping you visualize your thoughts and focus on what's most important.

3. Education & Your Palm
Love it or hate it, school places demands on our time and forces us to focus on new goals and new deadlines. To help you get ready for all the Wether you're readin' rightin', or doin' that 'rithmetic, NPUG is going to focus this month on all the ways that you Palm device can lend a hand in yer schoolin'.

If you're a student... we'll show you how to track your grades and assignments, as well as show you how your Palm can help you prepare for college. If you're a teacher... we'll show you how your Palm can help you with lesson plans and even discipline within the classroom. If you're a parent... we'll arm you with tools that can help you monitor assignments and even make learning fun.

But what if you're not in school and no intention of going back? Well even if you're not in school, chances are that every day has it's own type of "finals" for you. To help you deal with your daily deadlines, projects and problems, Randy Jones will be giving us a detailed demo of two must-have applications. The first is "Inspiration", which allows you to brainstorm ideas and create mind maps. The second cool application is Thought Manager, which is great in helping you visualize your thoughts and focus on what's most important.

So wether you're a student, teacher, parent, or just trying to get through the day, there's going to be plenty to learn as we show you the many ways your Palm OS device can lend a helping hand.
