Synopsis

Amazon.com Product Description
The Handspring Visor Deluxe connected organizer is all you'll need to store thousands of names, addresses, appointments, memos, to-do items, expense items, and e-mail. Based on the popular Palm OS, the Handspring Visor Deluxe is fully compatible with thousands of Palm Computing platform applications. Plus, Handspring has added features to the Palm OS like an advanced date book, calculator, world clock, and built-in floating-point math support. The Handspring Visor Deluxe offers a fast USB connection, making synchronizing your PC or Mac simple. Exchange of information between your handheld and PC occurs with the touch of a button. HotSync technology ensures all your data is backed up and enables significantly faster synchronization with USB support than the normal serial connection. (An optional serial cradle is available.) The Handspring Visor Deluxe with its 8 MB RAM also stores 12,000 addresses, 10 years of appointments, 6,000 to-do items, 6,000 memos, and 400 e-mail messages, plus it has plenty of room for add-on applications. This model includes support for Lotus cc:Mail, Microsoft Outlook, and Qualcomm Eudora. Software to synchronize with AOL, Lotus Notes, Netscape Communicator, and POP3 mail is sold separately. The Handspring Visor Deluxe is fully expandable with an external expansion slot that lets you add optional software and hardware modules (called Springboard modules) in a snap. Modules like an MP3 player, pager, modem, GPS receiver, or video game can be added to make a new device. The Handspring Visor Deluxe comes with a HotSync cradle, stylus, snap cover, leather slip case, Palm Desktop software (Windows and Mac), software link to Microsoft Outlook (Windows only), two AAA batteries, and a one-year warranty.

Excellent single, but better with Burning Empires
cthulhukid | Purgatory | 05/17/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)

"The second single from the new VNV Nation album "Empires," "standing" is a triumphant song. Guardedly optimistic, especially for VNV, but still dark and moody. Very beautiful. This single has the original, as well as two new mixes of "standing" ("still" and "motion") and a new instrumental ("radius ^2"). "Still" is more stripped down than the original, with less percussion and stronger vocals. "Motion" is a masterpiece- sped up and made even more intense than the original. "Radius ^2" seems like a straightforward dance track, but one that has that uniquely VNV touch. Shake yer money maker to this one.Overall an excellent single. however, it does not earn 5 stars when placed next to the amazing double CD "Burning Empires" set, which includes "Standing" and a remix disk from "Empires." That set is by far worth the extra money."
Standing still
Erica Anderson | Minneapolis, MN | 10/26/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Within a year, I have become a massive fan of VNV Nation (and the whole genre of EBM). I have managed to acquire a lot of VNV merchandise, music and non-music products. I am just so taken with this group. Definitely one of the highlights of 2002 for me. The angst-ridden lyrics of Ronan Harris and Mark Jackson has changed me in more ways than you can imagine. Never have I heard such beautiful music than VNV Nation's. One of my many favorite songs from VNV Nation is "Standing". Like "Beloved", "Standing" manages to capture the essence of its lyrics with its blend of industrial and trance beats. I thought nothing could improve the original version of the song but I was sorely wrong when I heard the Still and Motion versions of "Standing". The Still version is slower and has a more stripped down approach beat-wise as well as production. The primary focus is on Ronan's gorgeous vocals. The Motion version speeds up the BPM's with rougher beats. The instrumental "Radius2" is a gorgeous song. It almost reminds me of my other favorite VNV instrumental "Saviour". Just a beautiful song. And of course the original version of "Standing". No matter how much I listen to "Standing", I can never get sick and tired of listening to it."
Great Song but This Isn;'t What You Were Looking for...
SandmanVI | Glen Allen, VA United States | 02/26/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This song is a masterpiece but this domestic single is not the one that created all of the buzz. The import 2-disc version of this single is called "Burning Empires" and it is the painfully rare diamond in the entire scene. With B-sides so good that they get more club-play than any other songs and receive better live reactions. Too bad though, the 'BE' double EP sells for about $150 on E-Bay. Luckily we all downloaded all of the songs before the recording industry started throwing kids in jail. Oh, you didn't get yours? Uh, Sorry...If you don't have BE then maybe you should get this for the cool remixes. I'll bet you'll be happy enough with the album version though. And good lord, don't buy this single w/o buying the entire album."
