IE Pilot: I remember a while back you mentioned the performance of your pilot was slowing due to large size of databases you searched. I found a neat "hack" on the 'net that allows you to conserve your battery by up to 30%+ by "underclocking" the CPU though a software switch. By default the pilot runs at 16Mhz. By swiping the styless across a certain portion of the screen, you can "kick down" the speed of the pilot to 10Mhz. Yes, it runs slower, but if your doing something like reading a DOC or just want to cheat at playing a slower game, it is alot of fun. It also saves alot of power. Now for the really good stuff: It also has an unsupported feature (activated by swiping the pen a different way) that allows you to clock the pilot at 19Mhz, 21Mhz, or 23Mhz (my favorite). It's like a free CPU upgrade (actually it is shareware). Most newer pilots (the backlit ones) will support 23Mhz I'm told. Use at your own risk. I have not had a problem yet. But they do suck the juice. I have to let my pilot sun itself once a week now to keep the batteries charged. You interested? Regards, Paul
