Handheld Palm O/S 4.x Tutorial Videos 

 

by McMVideo Productions

To reduce the size of the videos, they have been converted to Flash videos (.swf file ending). If you need the .avi or .mov versions, please contact me at cmccarthy@voyager.net . To give you an example of the file sizes; the digitizing.swf file is 1.6 M, the .avi  and .mov versions of the same movie are around 16 M each.

The Windows Media Player will play the .avi versions.You will need the QuickTime™ player to view .mov files, available from the Apple web site.

If you need the free Flash Shockwave player to view these videos, you can download it from the MacroMedia download site.
