Comments on: Quickies: Site updates, Apple Palm, and TCPUG

Site Updates
I fixed a few bugs here and there with the site. It should now look a little better in Netscape and also on iMacs. Let us know if there are any other issues. By request, you can now click on the news headlines to view the detailed news page. If you haven't checked out the Palm Graveyard in a while, I suggest you do so. We've added a ton of new horror stories and Steve Lynch contributed one of the most amazing stories to date.

Apple Palm Phone?
Zero101 sent in a link to a site that appears to have an artists rendition of a Palm OS/Cell phone hybrid device that supposedly Apple has in the works.

MSPUG is now the TCPUG!

 hiPalm? I think not.

Here's the litmus test. It's just plain ugly. No self respecting Apple engineer would EVER let that monstrosity out the door.

This is clearly one of the many sites where people post their suggested designs for computer hardware. I've never seen one with a lot of basis in reality. I do like this design:

though I'm aware that, in real life, it would be about 1.5 inches thick, which is much too big.

It's obviously a Japanese Clie photo mocked up. Apple have unfortunately lost all the real power, passion and drive to create compelling devices - so I don't think we'll ever see anything cool from them again... :-(
