Review by Janna Clark of Mountain View, CA:
"I have a Nomad II and just love it! I do a lot
of training for marathons,
and keep my Nomad handy and in use constantly.
The user interface was intuitive from the first use,
and I had no trouble
installing and uploading right from the first
afternoon. I've had my
Nomad II for a couple of years now, and I can't
imagine even needing to
upgrade.
I have a Sony Music Clip and a Rave, but the Nomad is
the best."

Homestead (www.homestead.com),
who formally offered full featured
free Web hosting, has scaled back its service. The
company has always
charged for their business services but just recently
started charging for their
personal hosting as well.
The company has added Homestead Personal Preview as a
free introduction to
their Web hosting. However, the 'preview' version of
their service is restricted to
three web pages, 8 MB of storage, and no FTP access.
Homestead's paid Web hosting still offers 24/7 FTP
access. For more
details on changes to Homestead's Web hosting, visit
their Website.
