Frustrating as Heck

If Microsoft added Macintosh functionality to their PocketPC line of PDAs, it’s almost a sure bet I’d make the switch from the steadily declining Palm OS platform. Despite all of my patience with their dimwitted take on serving their customers, Palm Computing’s Mac OS support continues to be abysmal. Their USB implementations are screwy and unpredictable and result in terrible synching performance — I’m fed up with the frustration of trying to get my Palm Vx to talk to my Power Macintosh G4. It’s all nearly enough to make me want to chuck in the whole PDA thing for a DayRunner.
