Why would you want it to look any different? The Palm is a productivity
tool.

I am sure a built-in feature or a free third-party application will be
capable of that. However, everything will be slower because of the bloated
O/S underneath. If you use a PDA to manage memos, I am curious as to why
you want the interface to look different. The price and power are tempting
though, I agree.

Good luck,

Roy
