Byron, count me in on this one. I too have forgotten whether the left side of
the cube
should be up or down when calibrating. Not a real problem because I can tell
from
the 4 digit numbers in the calibration string that I didn't do it right, but it
would be nice
to have a little reminder in the label.

Brent, is this an 8 inch cable to connect the Palm to the Geez power module or
is it for some other function?

I found it hopeless to try and review a run on a PC between runs. The LCD
screens make most laptops hard to view outside (even in the shade of a car)
and I've found that I have enough to concentrate on with regards to the course
and mistake I know I made. For me, Geez is used to review my runs at home
and figure out the consistent problems I have. That way, I can concentrate
on fixing those problems when I'm at the event.
