On the plus side, a scrabbler who buys a palm probably wants it mainly to use as a cheap electronic word list for reference, and would treat a playable game only as a secondary benefit. And they would almost certainly be willing to give over the entire device for the word list. When I posted my comment above, I was assuming a 'normal' palm user like me with the old 68000 palms filled with software. I usually take other stuff out to make room if I want to run xwords on it (though I confess I haven't done so in a long time). We're digressing. To bring it back on topic - see the discussion on the other scrabble groups about the electronic word checker released yesterday - Quackle's version of CSW is based on John O'Laughlin's list, and you need to remove PHOCOMELIES from it!
