Will get a Palm OS 5 handheld

Speed seems great on the nx70v, if only sony included hi-res assist with this model, then the screen would display properly.

Gesh, if you were as professional with them as you were in posting the message, I wouldn't want to respond to you either.

My dear ardiri!

You forgot to provide public here with one small, but very piquant detail:
you received our messages on your accounts you use on Palm OS crackers and hackers forums. I almost sure that some of these messages were E-mails with warnings about using modified copies of RifleSLUGs game on your Palm.
Can you argue the fact that your name is appeared on crackers and hackers forums?
If you can't agrue this fact, I think all your arguments against us and our new product don't have any value at all. The real fact is that you DON'T like to pay for software you use. All other things are idle talk and nothing else.

My best wishes to you,

what are you implying here? i never received "warnings" about cracked versions of your software - hell, we all know they exist, and, well, quite frankly, thats *your* problem. in regards to the fact that i dont pay for software; well, i'd like to know where you got those stats from. i normally, exchange software with developers (swapping via PEF) so; i dont need to *pirate* software. please, do get your facts straight!

and, to be honest, if i wanted worms on the palm, i'd write it myself; you, of all people should know that. maybe i should do a worms clone, release it for free just to ruin your market? *g*

Um, refering to the board of which you talk of. It clearly states that you cannot enter the board if you are a developer you cannot enter it. Also many of the so called crackers promote buying software. One of them once said that the best game is "cracking". It is the losers that are the leeches of this group which steal the apps and don't pay for them. I must say that i have always bought my software. I too received the email from Paragon who advertised its crap ass product to me. I believe that Paragon is perhaps the most unethical company. I will also say that Aardi is the best developer for Palm OS because he is active on the boards and his service is always quick and speedy. When I worked on the VTech Helio his assistance was always there, buy his stuff

Its good to walk a mile in other people's shoes, because then your a mile away from them and you have their shoes. -Me. I invented it. No one else did.

Dear Ardiri!

I see that I was not completely right about your case.
I'm really sorry, I din't recognize you while posting my first message.
Could you send me an E-mail? I would like to discuss the situation and the problem in more details.

I have also some ideas to discuss with you.

I'm looking forward to your E-mail.

WOW! What I see! archtelamon had spill the beans! He is doing advertising for another company! :)))))

P.S.: I think, he'd got a pretty good shoes from someone! ;)

Guys please behave. Dont do dirty laundry in here. If you like the game its ok, if not - who cares? Tho its kinda fun to see you fight , lol :)

Ardiri,

Make a clone of wormz :-). What forums are you a member of. Rifleslugz is nice but it does get boring and is too big. It will not be on my palm for long. It is just nice to look at.

And I lost my CD copy of Windows XP down the back of the sofa. Can someone send me a copy of theirs, with the codes if possible?

From what I read on thier website, the enemy is _supposed_ to always use the one big gun. Guess it makes AI simpler but you are right that it gets old pretty quickly. I'm waiting for the World Party port myself...

I lost my serial number to Rifle Slugs. I'm asking if you can help me out and give me the number.
Thanks
