FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
A more perfect Palm Desktop
By David Gewirtz
This month, I'll be talking about PalmPower Magazine's recommendations for an updated Palm Desktop architecture. But first, I'd like to make a couple of announcements.
This month marks the last installment of Chris Brown's Tech Support Insider column. He's getting really busy at 3Com as more and Palm III's are sold and it's only fair that we free him up. Hopefully, when he gets some breathing space, we'll see some more great articles from him. Chris has turned into a promising new writer and I encourage him to explore writing as a talent both in and outside the technical field.
Taking Chris' place with a monthly column is David Pogue. David's a fabulous writer, author of a bunch of Dummies books (Macs for Dummies, More Macs for Dummies, Classical Music, Opera, and Magic for Dummies) as well as seven other books. He's been a Macworld columnist, and his few singing scenes on the former MSNBC show The Site are legendary here in PalmPower HQ. David has just completed PalmPilot: The Ultimate Guide (which will be independently reviewed by Claire Pieterek in a future issue) and will be signing on with PalmPower to do a column called "The Ultimate Guide". It promises to be both fun and useful at the same time.
David has asked us to share with you a contest opportunity, but you'll need to act before July 5. If you purchase his book from Computer Literacy Bookstore (an absolutely cool Bay Area bookstore that really should have a branch in Princeton -- hint, hint), you'll have a chance to win one of five PalmPilot leather bomber jackets. You can find out more at David's site: http://www.pogueman.com.
Finally, if you read either Bob Freud's "Outliners for the PalmPilot" or Alan Jay Weiner's "Resources, Forms, and Controls" last month in EasyPrint mode, you noticed that the tables had displayed in all black. There was a bug in our rendering software that's now been fixed, so if you want to print out those articles, feel free to go ahead.
And now, onto the desktop...
The joy of the Desktop
I'm going to commit a sin. I'm going to be a blasphemer and tell you that Graffiti and I just don't get along. I can use it, but I've never really liked it. I'm not much for handwriting, period. I never liked it in school and the prospect of writing anything longhand is enough to give me the chills. So when I have to write backwards 'V's or a strange shaped 'F', it's damned disconcerting.
