thought I would stop by and add that there is a puzzle (.puz -> converter) converter included in the download for BeCrossword. And it will convert multiple files in a single batch. Just run the converter and then select all the files you want to convert to .pdb and viola it's done in seconds. I just converted 10 yrs worth of NYT puzzles in like 10 minutes...it took longer to figure it out then it did to convert them. Now they are all on a memory card waiting for importing when I want some new puzzles.

I figure at around 365 puzzles/year over to years is about 3600 puzzles give or take some I missed or simply were not there. So say it takes me a good 2-3 days/puzzle as I don't just work them until done...I play with them a while, often I look up info when a clue triggers some curiosity about something so I get side tracked. And it's not like the N800 is gonna make that harder, it's gonna be easier to get side tracked...so that is 7200-10,000 days or between 19 to 27ish YEARS worth of puzzles. Think my Clie & N800 will last that long?

I think I am done now except for the occasional puzzle when I want something more current.
