    Stanford Palm User Group Meeting July 1stPosted By: Ryan Kairer on Monday, June 30, 2008 12:32:18 PM
The Stanford PalmPilot User Group meets at 7 pm on the first Tuesday of each month; the July first meeting will feature the Spugly Award for the Worst Palm OS Software Ever. The first nominee is Paragon/Penreader's SlovoEd dictionary application, for its chunk over-locked crashes and robotic technical support responses. Spug members are encouraged to demonstrate their own nominees for the Spugly Award at the meeting, and to show technical support responses which fail the Turing Test. Readers of PalmInfoCenter may also suggest nominees in the discussion forum.
The August fifth meeting will feature a demo of the Universe Web Browser by its developer, Donald Kirker of OpenMobl Systems, who is not a nominee for the Spugly Award.
