I agree completely.  I use a Windows box out of necessity, not choice, but
it is the most common development platform today, and I suspect that
that's true even in such a strong Mac field like Palm programming.
Anyone have any statistics on how the developer platforms for Palm break
down these days?  Just curious...

I listed many other formats, and in order of priority I'd say that they
are:

1) PDF
2) HTML
3) <anyone's guess>
