Default Palm software anyone?

I just got me a Palm Tungsten to take on my trips and I was wondering if there are any essential programs that I should get to help with the boredom of commuting. I have Logbook pro, and I have downloaded most of the major airlines schedules so is there anything i'm missing?

I have a pocket pc type phone and with all its fanciness and capabilities the one program i find myself using more than anything else is solitaire. haha. Bus schedules maybe, I live in PDX and they have their schedules online in addition to a viewing program. Spreadsheet programs are nice for weight and balance etc... I used to use that a ton when i was doing 135 stuff.

If you fly for an airline, the Airline Pilot's Daily Logbook by Paul Auman (now sold by logbook pro) is a good tool to replace the little red book and keep track of duty/rest issues.

Alaska (and probably some others) have their entire timetable available via a little app that updates itself everytime you sync. It's really great. I would look into whether the OAG is available that way. THAT would be the ultimate commuter's solution, along with wifi so you could check flight status.
