Newbee to CF01
What do I need?

I am getting a new CF-01 Monday and am interested in hearing what the essentials are as far as upgrades as well as software. I have a good bit of experiance in the WinCE area but am new here. A few questions:
Comes with Win 95, should I upgrade to 98, ME?
How do I load software to it that is on a CD (Office, outlook, etc)?
Should I invest in a RAM upgrade, if so how much should I get and how do I do it?
Also, I have LAN at work and a cable modem at home . I would like to get a wireless connection for both of these. I don't mind investing in a solution that works, but need something very simple to install. I have read some of the other posts and I get lost pretty quick.

Thanks for any help you can offer,

Tony

Spend sometime to read all posts, you will get answers of your questions. If still not, post the question again, someone will answer it.

I consider my best upgrade to have been 98lite Pro, which allows loading of Windows 98 SE such that the 24Meg of RAM is completely adequate. But to get there I had first to network the CF-01 to my other computer for transferring files over. Good luck.

-I'd stick with Win95, it's all setup with pen services and correct drivers and works fine.
-To load software: use a parallel port zip or cd drive, PCMCIA cd drive (controller on Panasonic PCMCIA sound cards), load from a network shared CD drive over ethernet or direct cable connect.
-24MB RAM is plenty for Win95 and light surfing or office apps (for me anyways). I don't do any heavy multi-tasking though, no more than Opera, ICQ, and Word/Excel open at the same time. Win98 may like more RAM, don't know, haven't tried it.
-I am using some cheap LeArtery wireless cards from justdeals.com (were $50, they are gone now I think) and they were no problem to install.

That's just my two cents, there are of course other legitimate opinions. Good luck!
