For all of the words you used, you never really told him how to do it..

>1. Generate your information into HTML format. Hyperlinks are cool, so consider making an index page leading to lists sorted by name, by site, arrival date, whatever.
>2. Post the HTML web on a website. GeoCities.com is a good place if you need a free site for this.
>3. Go to AvantGo.com, makers of VERY COOL and free client-side (PC) software that synchronises web pages with your palm pilot. Install it (quick and painless).
>4. Optional: Play with AvantGo, for example download the daily PDA version of USA Today into your Palm, for example. Something to read while on the can :-)
>5. Still at AvantGo.Com, create a custom web subscription, pointing to the URL where your information lives.

>And there you go, your PDA (Palm or Windows CE machine) now contains the hypertext version of your VFP data.
