Fredlet reviews the UniMount
PalmPower Magazine - October 1998
The UniMount is one of the coolest PalmPilot gadgets to come along in a very long time. While it definitely appeals to the gadget freak in all of us, it will also appeal to all the road-warriors who need to use their organizers while on the road. UniMount is an ingenious device that allows you to mount your Palm organizer in your car and have it handy while traveling (although you never want to use it while the vehicle is in motion). In her trademark style, S. Fred Green reviews the UniMount and tells us why she gave it 4.25 marmots out of five. Extra credit if you know what a marmot is.
Stylin' with the right stylus
PalmPower Magazine - September 1998

In this helpful article Claire Pieterek lays this season's styli (including the powerfully named "Throttle" and the unusual Fingertip Stylus) out on the table and compares them. If you want to be cool, you'll need the latest in stylish, stylus accessories and you'll need to read this article.
