Everyone, please try to remember: All the idiosyncrasies of this platform are there for your own good. If you don't understand that, then you obviously haven't read every one of the thousands of pages of documentation available to you. Or you're simply not as smart as we are. Or both. Every glitch, gotcha, omission, flaw, and bug in the Palm OS has been planned, implemented, and tested to perfection. Besides, there are no *are* no glitches, gotchas, omissions, flaws, or bugs, so there's really nothing to complain about.
This platform is manifestly perfect, as evinced by the utter lack of design flaws. Oh, you think you've spotted one? You must be mistaken; after all, this platform is perfect. You are not entitled to your own opinion in this newsgroup. However, if you're properly obsequious, we might entitle you to some of *our* opinions. Dissent is not allowed. Resistance is futile. RTFM^64. Work will set you free. All hail Palm! "Loc" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:114232@palm-dev-forum... > > docs? I've read the companions pdf and reference.
