+====== Dana Alphasmart ======
+A dedicated writing device that runs Palm OS.
+Three models were released:
+  * Dana 1:8MB RAM and 4 MB ROM
+  * Dana 2:16MB RAM and 8 MB ROM
+  * Dana 2 Wireless: A Dana 2, with WiFi 802.11b built in.
+Software compatible with the strange resolution will be added to palmDB eventually, and a list will be available.
+Tip from n3rdopolis
+if you are using AlphaWord, and you notice the file list is out of sorts, that setting is tied to the sorting setting in the Memo Pad application.
+Change the sorting to Automatic in Memo Pad, and the AlphaWord documents will be sorted alphabetically as well.
+Change the sorting to "Manual" and then in AlphaWord the setting will change to manual sorting.
+There is no obvious way to change it in AlphaWord. Only through Memo Pad. I figured this out by guessing years ago...
