So, will Palm Computing end this drought of Macintosh support? Are those rain-clouds on the horizon, or just a mirage? Certainly, the signs look good. A proper Conduit SDK means that Macintosh applications can finally begin to integrate smoothly with PalmPilot applications. Claris Organizer is a good foundation for new PalmPilot desktop software. While I wouldn't be surprised if the new Mac software doesn't appear during the summer, it does look like it's finally on the way. And you can rest assured that PalmPower Magazine will give you the full details as soon as it does arrive.

The edge of the desert is in sight, and I think I see a whole orchard of apple trees. Let's hope that it's not a mirage, but the real end of our tiring journey!
