A recent survey (Sept
2006) of serious Milk Round Software HH users gives the Palm
Tungsten E2 the big thumbs up.
Old low memory devices (2Mbyte
Memory) are OK you do not need more - week files are typically less
than 200k.
If new to MR8 HH usage
– just buy ONE – please call me if you have any doubts.
Palm Desktop (the Palm software that runs on your PC)
XP - You need version 4.1.4.
Vista - You need version 6.2 which if not distributed with your Palm HH you can
download from the Palm website.
Tips:-
Difficulty Clicking Buttons - You may need to reset the digitizer.
Click "Prefs" then "General" then "Digitizer". Carefull select the centre of the cross.
Taking time entering large numbers -
You can use the Graffiti written input to enter numbers into MilkRS.
Place the cursor on a quantity that needs changing then write the number (like you would with a pen)
in the area marked 123 below the screen.

Malcolm Scott (Guernsey) is working with a Palm IIIc
terminal. He delivers to a lot of hotels and uses a Canon 85 inkjet
printer in the cab to print delivery notes from the Palm terminal. He
is very happy with the way his HH is saving him so much time.
