POPULARITY: Pam is a celebrity, so of course she’s popular, but keep her working and in shape to keep it that way!

PortaPam FAQ
How do I install PortaPam on my Palm?
1. Download the ‘portapam.zip’ or ‘portapamh.sit’ file and decompress it. Stuffit Expander, AOL, or other file decompression tools will do this easily. A new file called ‘portapam.PRC’ will be placed in the location you’ve chosen to save it to.
2. On some computers, you can double-click the PRC file to automatically launch the Palm Software Installer. If this doesn’t work, you need to find the ‘Install Handheld Software’ option in your Palm Desktop software and select it.
3. Drag the portapam.prc file into the install window to prepare it for installation. Once it’s set, simply HotSync your Palm and PortaPam will be installed automatically. What’s the goal of PortaPam? PortaPam lets everyone share in the excitement of being a celebrity. It’s up to you to manage a successful career, keep your bod in shape, avoid those annoying tabloid photographers, and hopefully win the coveted Oskar! Let’s see if YOU can handle being a star! How often should I feed Pam? Feed Pam at least once a day to keep her healthy and fit, but make sure it’s a careful balance of smoothies and pizza to be safe. What’s Pam saying to me? Lots of things. It depends on her mood and how you’re interacting with her, or even if you’re NOT interacting with her. She’s quite the chatterbox. Pam is just sitting on a stool and looks bored, why? Because she IS bored. Sounds like you’re not paying enough attention to her. Why doesn’t Pam like the fur coat? Because it was made from cute and furry dead animals who suffered horribly to make a tacky looking piece of clothing. How many locations are there? Lots. Pam is a busy woman and can be found at various places throughout the day. At any point you might find her in the bedroom, in the shower, at the gym, at the beach, in the city, at a club, or any number of other places. So keep a close eye on her! Why should I beat up the photographer? Because if you don’t, a nasty headline about you could appear and your popularity will plummet. Can I beam Pam to a friend? Absolutely. Pam loves getting beamed. You can beam her to anyone with a Palm or Visor handheld computer that is running at least Palm OS 3.0. So get moving!
