Preface

You have a few questions regarding the OmniGo? Well, it's likely at least some of your questions will be answered on this Frequently Asked Questions page. If you do not see a question addressing your problem or curiosity here, check the Tips page because the more technical subjects and procedures are discussed there. If you still cannot find an answer to your question, try posting it on the OmniGo mailing list and I'm sure someone's bound to have an answer. If I notice a string of similar questions flooding the mailing list, I'll append it to this page along with the relevant answer.

There are, to my knowledge, actually four FAQ's pertaining to the OmniGo available on the Internet: Ronald Pike's original FAQ (the one distributed over the OmniGo mailing list), Wayne Venables' updated FAQ based on Ronald's version, the FAQ that complimented a subscription to Thaddeus Computing's HP OmniGo World (no longer in print), and EduCalc's brief FAQ. This FAQ is a derivative of Wayne Venables' version, with some passages taken from Ronald's original version. Apart from the obvious cosmetic differences (e.g., Communication moved to Section 4), I have made the following changes to Wayne's FAQ:

  • Moved parts of the answers to 2.5 and 2.8 to the Tips page.
  • Moved the answers to 5.8 and 5.9 to the Tips page.
  • Moved Section 9 to the Tips page.
  • Left out the links in 1.7 and 3.3.
  • Various minor editing and amendments, and some updating.
My reasons for making these changes are (1) to keep the FAQ as basic as possible while relegating the more technical aspects of it to the Tips page, (2) to remove overlaps with this site, and (3) to maximize the FAQ's accessibility and legibility. I hope this FAQ can be of great resource to you. If not, please let me know—I'm all ears all the time.
