http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/08/22/151254

• by Joe Barr - It's been almost a year since I first wrote about GnuCash, the open source alternative to Quicken, the perennial best-selling/most popular proprietary application for personal finances. You may not have noticed, given the thick layer of SCO news the past week, but the GnuCash.org project has recently announced both a new release of the application and a new release of its documentation: the GNUCash Guide.

     Although you can build Web services with other technologies, SOAP,     WSDL, and UDDI have become the de facto standards for Web services.     SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI are the most widely accepted Web services     technologies, and products supporting these technologies are available     from dozens of vendors.

While true, both fall     woefully short of truly describing what is being offered. The SL-C760     looks like a miniature laptop and, honestly, it comes closer than any     handheld I've ever used to truly being able take the place of a laptop.
