Re: Palm usage was Re: Modems and external dialers.
You know I miss (A LOT) Palm desktop simplicity!? Wish I could have the same functionality on my android phone.

I remember downloading it and running a few very simple things with it. I had been looking for Python or Ruby at the time, but happened across that and thought Lua seemed like an interesting language too. Sadly, I never got around to learning it, though. (I think my first exposure to Lua was through tomsrtbt, which I ran on an old Compaq laptop; many of its scripts were in Lua. I think I read that that let them be compact and still expressive. But after messing with that system and not knowing my way around the scripts, I forgot about Lua until I found Plua.) -- Eric Christopherson

Not sure if this counts as "connected" but I used Palm Desktop itself for my personal scheduling. I never used my Palms (an m505 and a Zire 72) for E-mail, though. It did mostly note-taking, calendar and pharmacy work, and some programming (in Plua). -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- If elected, I will win. -- Pat Paulsen for President ---
