LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Love, hate, our best intentions, and some extensions
Here at PalmPower, we do groove on controversy. In this installment of our semi-regular Letters to the Editor series, we reprint two letters on opposite sides of the fence. One fellow loves our refreshing analysis while another asks us about "bending over". What fun! We also include another entertainingly cranky letter from a reader who wants us to improve the magazine and a special tidbit from Jeff Carlson about Macintosh extensions that you should definitely read if you're a Macintosh user.
Excellent analysis
As product manager for the Symbol SPT 1500 (a Palm Computing Platform based device), your review ["Comparing Windows CE with Palm OS" in the March issue] was a refreshing read and I'll pass it along to others in the organization.
Regards,
Chris Ciervo
Angry young palm
In March, ZATZ:Pure Internet Publishing, the company that publishes PalmPower, launched a new and completely separate publication called Windows CE Power Magazine. While most PalmPower readers didn't seem all that concerned one way or the other, this fellow was certainly somewhat cranky about the whole thing. Shame he won't get to see his letter in lights.
I'm just writing to let you know that I am unsubscribing from your PalmPower list. Obviously, I could have just done it and not sent in any comments, but I felt it reasonable to write a short note.
SO [sic] you want to write a magazine about Windows CE... OK fine. If there's a market for a magazine and you want to spend your time covering a crappy piece of over hyped and over bloated software, that's your business (literally, its how you guys make money). However, to also announce that PalmPower is now going to be about Windows CE as well?
How far are you guys going to bend over for this? Are advertising rev's really worth it?
Well, I'm not bending over. Enjoy your new relationship with Microsoft, I hope they buy you flowers.

PalmPower is absolutely not about Windows CE. Period. We may, when appropriate, cover some limited information about Windows CE (like how the PalmOS differs from CE) but, other than that, PalmPower is 100% about the Palm device. Always has been. Always will be. Ok, and of course anyone is always welcome to send me cookies. I like home-made melt-in-your-mouth chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin (with just a few raisins for flavor). Flowers aren't really my style.
