[GEM Development] G'day Peter (plus) GEM Idea for UIQ? Anyone?

[Peter Green]

G'day, Chris and all!

(1) Anglesea: stopped there for a bite to eat and to "check the 
plumbing": a nice place, with a good view of the coast from the lookout. 
It was a bright, cloudless day, and the photos were good.

(2) Portland: very pretty! One of my daughters' friends lives there now, 
so we were to check out the place. Also checked the plumbing and had 
toasted sandwiches or such at a hamburger joint not far from the Op shop 
(we've got to check the op shops!)

(3) GO Rd... a great trip -- loved it! Saw the turn off to Jan Juc, but 
didn't see Bacchus Marsh. I expect the Retsina would be good there, though!

(4) Photos: didn't post them anywhere. I took arounud 2 500, and am 
still... well, I'm not actually sorting them, as I keep feeling defeated 
by the size of the task each time I look at the \tastrip directory. Very 
soon now, though. I'll probably make a subdirectory on the 
atsilverstreet.com site, but I'll let you know when that is up.

(5) GEM on mobile phones: now that sounds as though it might have some 
potential, though I'm wondering what you would do with a phone so 
equipped. I have visions of typesetting War and Peace in PagePlus on my 
Nokia 3350 or whatever it is. Not an enticing prospect. One of those 
cute little folding keyboards might make a lot of difference. Is your 
phone CDMA or GSM? I was horrified by the lack of Optus GSM cover for 
most of my trip.

Thanks for the response, Chris. I'll check your photos later tonight. 
Work tomorrow, for the first time in over a month :-(.

We're back to Pommieland in May, too. Grandchild #2 is due somewhere in 
the Sidcup area mid March (First for Luke and Viv) and Grandchild #3 is 
due in Carlton, NSW late April, so we'll see #3 in and then head for 
Heathrow. Heavy saving from now on.
