We've been hearing a lot about how companies have been tanking. Sometimes part of the reason is that their management isn't willing to be ruthless about prioritization. We are. We're a small company with very limited manpower.

At ZATZ, every time we make an investment in a project, it's got to be one we consider carefully. I admit it's a bummer that the Virus article can't be read on AvantGo, but it can be read elsewhere. So,unfortunately, we have a choice: do we devote two to three weeks modifying the software to fix it (and yes, it's that big a project), or do we do other projects (like preparing the next issue of the magazine)?

There's a business concept called "opportunity cost," and, frankly, the opportunity cost on this particular fix would be too high. However, the next time we are working on that part of the code we'll work on finding a solution.

What about MyPalm?
I'm building a Web site and would like to use the calendar program on my Palm IIIxe as a read only Web page for multi-user reference.

Ideally, the contents could be downloaded and synchronized with user's Palm handhelds.

Does anybody know if/how this can be done? This would have many applications for organizations and would encourage more Palm handheld purchases. Thank you.

I think you're in luck. Go to http://www.palm.com/solutions/jump/mypalm_info4.html and learn more about the MyPalm portal. It's the AnyDay.com product, renamed and updated after it was acquired by Palm.
