I actually went out and bought a Palm pilot so I could use the Tide program.
Turns out to be the best gadget I've bought in years. I catch up on all my
paddlewise e-mail on my Pilot.

Sea Kayaker Magazine (www.seakayakermag.com) had a very good review of the
Palm in a recent issue a few months ago. It included my favorite Palm
application, which is Tide Tool. This program is as good an example of the
wondrous benefits of the the Gnu Public License (GPL) as you'll find
anywhere this side of Linux. Tide Tool is great for the spur of the moment
decision of whether to go paddling this weekend, especially when that
decision requires currents to be above or below a certain level. Cheers,
Kevin
