Part 2 Communicating with a Computer 87

Using Channels
A channel is a Web site or other Web-formatted content that is available for offline
viewing on your Palm-size PC. Channels help you to keep informed with the latest
news, stock quotes, movie schedules, and more while on the go. Once you subscribe to
a channel from your desktop computer, information is updated on your computer, as it
becomes available. Then when you synchronize, the latest information is automatically
transferred to your Palm-size PC for viewing.
Channels and their automatic updates are managed on your desktop computer by
Internet Explorer 4.0 or later. You must have Internet Explorer 4.0 or later running on
your desktop computer to subscribe to Channels.
Microsoft maintains a special Web site to help you get started using Channels. For
information on getting started with Channels on your Palm-size PC, visit the following
Web site.
