Great Palm OS Cobalt Mac Support Overview at TidBITs

TidBITS is one of my all-time favorite e-zines, published by Adam and Tonya Engst for many years now. In fact it was the inspiration for the Palm Tipsheet which I founded in 1997 and sold last year.

Anyway, today I received the latest issue of TidBITS (#717) via email and saw that Jeff Carlson has written up an excellent overview of the Mac OS support situation at PalmSource that worth a read for all Mac users.

A great quote:

"Although Palm has occasionally taken interest in the Mac - such as buying Claris Organizer and turning it into Palm Desktop for Macintosh - the company's overall history of Mac support has seemed more like the kid brother your parents insisted you take to the movies with your date; he can get into the show, but has to sit somewhere else and can't have any popcorn."

I'm happy that Jeff has laid out the situation so well for Mac users, because it helps clarify alot of details that might be missed otherwise.
