Hi, After all the discussion about the Toshiba e800 on this forum I did some investigating. It does look like a very interesting Pocket PC. Besides the large (4" vs. 3.5" or 3.8") high resolution (480x640 vs. 240x320) screen, it also has both CF and SD card slots and a very, very large optional...

Anybody have any tips on using the Volkslogger? I have found the manual to be very lacking, the three buttons very clumsy and the logic is terrible. I'm trying to up load tasksand turnpoints, and be sure that I've declared the task correctly. Whe I ask for help at the gliderport I watch others...

Hello folks, it's annual time and we plan to give our LS1-f a bit of a buff and polish.
