Alan/Keith, First, my intention in printing this story was NOT to create a controversy. I am a Palm developer, and I do own a Palm Vx. I have tried out the iPAQ and the Psion - and would choose the Palm anyday. I just did not like the way the story represented the information, and wanted to just inform the developer community of the same... I had already sent MY COMMENTS to the editor.. If I have been misunderstood, I should say that it could be because of the very brief message that I included.. Sorry about that - will make sure I clarify my position better from next time... and, I was NOT aware that there have been other reports from @Stake.. will check out the URLs sent. Thanks, Peace, Aristotle. "P.

Perhaps gathering our comments before printing would have made sense. --Alan > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of - - > Sent: Saturday, March 17, 2001 5:53 AM > To: Palm Developer Forum > Subject: Misinformed??? > > > Hi, > > I came across this article recently.. as developers, pl. send > comments to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > BRgds, > > Aristotle. > > -- Article -- > "Palm PDA threat to network security" > > Networks could be vulnerable because passwords don't protect data > held on Palm > PDAs.
