At least two problems with Palm. The file system, or lack thereof.
Real pita to log more than 4K of data.
And they're going away.
Serial connectors are way too fragile for general use, and they're
going away too. I have way more bluetooth and wifi WinCE PDA's
than Palms.

I'm seriously hampered by my cheapness, I won't pay for software,
and lack of programming skill. The free tools have low capability, they're old
so won't support newer features and
typically won't create an executable file.
I can cobble together a VB6 program because it hides all the details, but I can't handle "C".
My "C" capability peaks out at a very small subset of K&R.
With this newfangled stuff, you have to know how to create an overloaded,
subclassed, instance of a WM_Paint..or is it WM-PaInT or wm_Paint or ...GRRRR!...
Darned Hungarians!!!.... know which include files to include
and make a deal with the devil just
to get "Hello World" to compile. I'm too stoopid for that. Starting with
a working example of "Hello World" in C++, I couldn't even get it changed to
"goodbye cruel world". I know it's somewhere in that mass of includes, defines, resource
files and string tables and on and on and on. Why can't I just type, 'print "hello word"'
and be done with it?
Seems like all the cheap or free stuff is C-like.

Anyway, it's a hobby. I just need to find a FREE basic-like compiler for a WinCe PDA.
