This is all well and good, but theres still no Mac-based support for Coola...

We will very soon launch a beta test of the MacOS version of the Coola software. If you're interested in participating in the beta test, please contact us at macbeta@coola.com.

I don't suppose you bothered to check their web site recently, where there's a link to a page about contacting them to be a beta tester for Mac support, eh?
Didn't think so. RE: Mac support?
Installed the Mac beta of the Coola conduit, and its working like a champ. Thanks for letting me know about the beta, sorry if I seemed harsh. :) RE: Mac support?

COOL!
I think this is great! No longer limited to plain "vanilla" Palm doc files, the Coola "1-click-doc" technology allows users to choose their reader type (by setting it in their profile settings) from this HUGE list of partnered readers:
AportisDoc Of course, other Doc reader is probably just plain doc file, but the point is that anyone who wants to use a Doc reader with more formatting options can do so. I'm just waiting to see what all the nay-sayers, who are so quick to dis' Coola with comments like "What's the big deal" have to say THIS time. What are you going to complain about now? The color of their web site offends you? What could there *possibly* be in this great new update to their service to complain about? RE: COOL!I.M. Anonymous @ 1/29/2001 11:39:23 AM #
One caveat: we do not yet support all the enhanced formatting options for all the readers listed at the present time. We will be adding support for other readers with enhanced formatting capabilities in the coming weeks.
Jeff Foust RE: COOL!
Ok, I guess that's a good point. But still... as soon as the formatting translation is worked out, people who use readers with fancy formatting options (iSilo, Rich Reader, etc.) will be able to see web sites translated into those formats with the click of a button. :)
