Coola has released a new Windows Internet Explorer plug-in that allows you to easily copy any piece of text from IE onto your Palm, or e-mail it to a friends' Palm. Right clicking on a bit of selected text will allow you to use Coola Right-Click to put it in your memo pad. It is free and requires Coola and Win IE 4.0 or higher.

Why do these companies continue to ignore the Mac user amongst us. When are we going to see Macintosh support? RE: Coola and AnydayI.M. Anonymous @ 10/10/2000 10:49:56 AM #
waa! I am a baby! I have a mac, and I expect the world to cater to me! waaa! Wake up! RE: Coola and Anyday
When Sudha Jamthe, Coola CEO, spoke at our PUG meeting in July, her answer to that kind of comment/question was that they had tentative plans to support other operating systems and even other handheld platforms. But remember, they are a VERY new company. It makes sense for them to launch their company supporting the MOST widely used combinations, that of a Windows desktop PC and PalmOS handheld. It wouldn't make much sense for them to start off supporting a less used (no judgement calls here, just numbers) OS, would it? Maybe if you contact them *nicely* about supporting MacOS and/or other stuff, they can better guage user need for it, and better plan to make it happen?

Check out IE2PDB, which is available over at PalmGear. Rather than copy to a memo file, it creates a DOC file, so you aren't limited to the memo size limitations. It's a great way to keep a copy of a good article at hand. However, just like Coola, it is limited to IE on a Windows machine. RE: IE2PDB is a better option
In a similar vein, a good text-to-doc converter will put interesting online things into your PDA in .doc format. The real benefit is that you have the flexibility to take anything you can get MS Word to open and transform it into a .doc file.

I think you need to remove the words "lack" "of" and "support" from that statement. BTW I use Linux

If you don't understand why no one supports the Mac, you are an idiot. Economics 101. If you had a product with a potential market of either 1 person or 100 people which would you choose? The enormous disparity in numbers between PC's & Mac's all but guarantees that product development will always favor the PC. If your looking for the latest & greatest, I'd suggest getting a computer that doesn't come in flavors. RE: Mac supportI.M. Anonymous @ 10/11/2000 4:51:55 PM #
Even like that, I still prefer a Mac computer. way more stable, faster, more reliable, than wintel computers. Why do you think all the pros prefer a Mac? besides most up to date stuff is available for MAC. All the stuff that you can actually use, PC has too much crap out there, useless soft and hardware.

I never said the PC was better or worse, but simply you shouldn't bitch when companies dont support a MUCH smaller and less profitable platform. We all want to put food on the table. >> Why do you think all the pros prefer a Mac? >>besides most up to date stuff is available for MAC. >>All the stuff that you can actually use, PC has too >>much crap out there, useless soft and hardware.

Go to zdnet and get Syncplicity.
http://hotfiles.zdnet.com/cgi-bin/texis/swlib/hotfiles/info.html?fcode=001BZW&b=zdpalm Syncplicity is a must-have Windows utility that allows you to easily import data to your Palm device. You can grab data from any source (Web page, email, text document, etc.) and transfer it to your handheld with just a couple of clicks. To move data into the Syncplicity window you can paste from the clipboard, open the appropriate file, drag highlighted text, or type directly into its window. Once this is done, just select the type of file you want to create (i.e. address, document, memo, etc.) and then HotSync. It uses customizable address templates to automatically transfer contact information into the correct fields of your Address Book. Similarly, event information is automatically scheduled to the correct day and time in your Date Book. An excellent help file is included, but its interface is so intuitive, you'll hardly need it.
Syncplicity already does this, but as well as pasting to memo pad you can paste to datebk, todo, addressbook or doc format.
Much like not speaking french in France - speaking other than PC in a PC world makes it hard to communicate. LINUX, MAC, and
others aren't the big market. Buy PC if you want first release!
