January 27th, 2012:

	It's been an interesting day.  I spent much of the morning fooling 
around with my mobile device of choice, my PalmOne Treo 650.

	Being, for all intents and purposes, a businessman, I am usually 
quite excited whenever I discover something that will make my job 
easier... or at least more interesting.  Today, I finally got around to 
trying out CS Fax from Conklin Systems.

	CS Fax is a full-fledged fax solution for PalmOS devices.  It 
allows you to send and receive faxes on most Palm devices with a modem.  
As a salesman, I am ALWAYS sending and receiving faxes, so naturally this 
appealed to me.  When I read that I could write on a fax received by CS 
Fax and send it back to sender, I was quite enthused.

	I faxed a copy of our standard Request for Credit forms from our 
office fax, set CS Fax to receive, and sure enough, the credit form was 
received on my Treo.  I zoomed in on the fax, and filled out the form 
using my Treo's stylus. I faxed it back to my office fax, and it showed up 
on my office fax about a minute later.

	First impression?  Not bad.  My only gripes are pretty minor.  
The first time I faxed the credit memo, I faxed it upside-down.  While the 
program won't let you "flip" the received fax over, the problem can be 
rectified by turning the Treo (or Palm device) over and filling out the 
form like that.

	The only other gripe I have is the quality of text input when 
using the stylus.  The tip on a Treo 650's stylus is rather broad and 
rounded, which makes for poor handwriting legibility... not exactly a good 
thing when filling out important forms.  I'll have to try it again with a 
"sharper" stylus.

	Apart from that, I really enjoy CS Fax.  I suspect I'll be 
registering it soon.
