Think about what you are asking and how people have
been responding to this particular topic.  There are
way to many people out there that don't want to have
to think about how to get something to work or how to
extend the capabilities of a system.  "They simple
want it to work" without any effort on their part.  So
because of this mentality, Palm and other companies
can only offer the complete download.  If they don't,
some 'naive' person is going to come along and choose
the wrong package and then tie up the phone-lines
whinning about how he can't get it to work.  So it's
easier and cheaper for everyone involed for these
companies just to do a complete install instead of
trying to tailor for people.  Unfortuantely for those
people who are not afraid to study or work out
problems on their own, they have to suffer because of
the others.

BTW, this is just the reason why we have to put these
idiotic warning message on everything in the US. 
Perhaps because of these warning message we are
breeding a class of idiots with out equal.  But that
is another discussion.
