Any comments ? What do you think will happen? The exact results of your suggested action depend on which version of Windows and which file system you are using. > Again MS Windows is designed for idiots, > PalmOS isn't. I agree that the Palm OS is wonderful, but I am quite tired of the Windows bashing that goes on here. This is NOT a forum for Windows-bashing; it is a forum for discussing Palm OS programming. If you want to use Windows as a comparison to Palm OS to explain something about how the Palm OS works, that's fine. But to do so, you will first have to learn more about Windows so you can make proper comparisons. Also, you should consider this: Palm OS devices do not exist in isolation. They are currently marketed as desktop extensions, not desktop replacements. Since more people use some version of MS Windows than any other OS, more Palm Powered handheld owners are running MS Windows than any other OS, and more Palm OS developers are likely to be running some version of MS Windows than any other OS (I know there are some here who would like to disagree, but facts is facts). If you want to continue to tell people how much you hate Windows and how much you hate Microsoft, etc., there are many other places you can go to do it. So, please go there when you feel the urge. PS: Most people believe that the Palm OS *is* designed for idiots. By that, I mean that the OS is well designed to be easily used by a wide variety of non-technical users. That is one of its greatest strengths. Stick with Linux if you want an OS that apparently does not desire to be "designed for idiots". __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo!
