what is that you can do with a palm and cant do with a ppc

This is a little off topic (the right forum though) but here goes.

The fundamental difference in argument from the Palm camp as opposed the the PPC camp has been an issue of quanitity vs. quality. Pocket PC users are concerned with what is capable of doing (hence such mantras like W?BIC!) when Palm users emphasize that Palm handhelds do what they do well. Sure, there is some overlap, but for the most part PPC users (like Kowalski) are concerned with capability rather than the things mentioned by wing (more stable, fast app switching).

I went back to Palm because I felt that I didn't need the capability that a PPC offers beyond the essential PIM in addition to feeling like my PPC was sluggish and getting it to do anything when I wanted it to felt like an uphill battle (involving soft resets and hangs). My response to you wing is "to each his own" - I certainly don't miss my PPC and I'm happier now that I'm back in the embrace of Palm.

Oh, by the way, I had a Toshiba too. :wink:
