Palm is making the same mistake that IBM did. In a previous incarnation I was head of OS/2 evangelization for IBM EMEA (yes, I am a very old guy). I helped to set up devcon, but by then it was already too late. Almost no consumer software was ever developed for OS/2. Microsoft are crap developers

Re: NetLibSelect returns immediately

I have problem with NetLibSelect function. On device, the function allways returns number 2 even if there's no data in the socket. On emulator it works fine How do you handle socket events in your applications? I tried to debug pokeserver (from Russell Bulmer) and there is also this problem.

Palm has been quick in the past to boast the wide software offering for Palm OS, yet did very little to actually support the developers who made their platform attractive, especially freeware writers, while much of the offering was freeware. Continued support from developers to migrate their apps

Why you all want to be told that you are special, especially here it from someone you don't respect? Why Palm OS /Garnet OS ceased? I guess people around it didn't have the perseverance not to let go. And I’m talking about you and me and all of as. I bring memories from my experience with Treo

I think if palm is to survive they need to UPDATE PALM OS!! Seriously. It is supposed to be an OS not a calculator. Most palms come with software that make it only a little more useful than a datebook/calendar. Most people don't have a memory card to use with pTunes... and they would need a

I wish if we could all get together and request from Access the rights of Gardner OS. Most of us don't really need a supper multitasking device in our hands. If I wanted anything like this I would get Windows in the first place. Enough for now. I have work to do. If you want, join me in

Was that the 2.99 beta? OS/2 was indeed a lot better than Windows, but it was not to be. It was not down to Microsoft, though. They did not indulge in any more dirty tricks than one would expect, from a company in their position. IBM did it all by themselves. We were phenomenally incompetent.
