NOTES

1 " I have had a problem with the cable not staying plugged in however since it looks like I may have caused the locks that are supposed to keep it in the card to strip out. " - remarks on using Margi by Dale Coffing, Microsoft MVP for Handhelds, December 6th, 2001 on www.pocketpcpassion.com

^** " The other problem is that since the CF is size 2 it won't work with the CF slot of the Jornada. " - remarks on using Margi by Dale Coffing, Microsoft MVP for Handhelds, December 6th, 2001 on www.pocketpcpassion.com

" This means Jornada users are out of luck (unless they purchase the PCMCIA sled and use a special Type II-->PCMCIA converter card, like the one that ships with the MicroDrive). " - remarks on Margi review by Jared Miniman, January 21, 2002 on www.pocketnow.com

⁺⁺ " it wasn't convenient relying on the InfraRed port of my iPAQ, since for the remote to work, the emitted beam must be in-line with the iPAQ IR port. Most of the time, this alignment did not take place and I found myself hitting the buttons repeatedly. A much better solution, I think, is the FlyJacket IR system (a large "eye" that's on the side of the sleeve), which I found was always in line with the button "wand." - remarks on Margi review by Jared Miniman, January 21, 2002 on www.pocketnow.com
