What Would Be The Worst App For Your Pocket PC
As I sit here working on my tax return :bad-words: I got to thinking that no matter how much I like working on my Pocket PC, I think any tax program would just be horrible on a Pocket PC. Ok, actually, I haven't started working completely. I logged in, check email, then started Tax Cut, successfully imported last year's return - took 3 seconds - and checked online updates. Then I fixed some tea, checked on my youngest son, perused my calendar, then had a thought to do this post. Tax Cut is still open though, so that counts for something, right? :wink:
So, despite our general love for handheld devices, what app would you consider the 2nd worst that you'd never use on your Pocket PC even if it were given to you free? Tax prep apps are, by default, the 1st worst because it involves taxes. :bad-words: Now, where are my W-2's? That might come in handy. Hmmm... is that a chip on the wall? I might need to repaint that first, then I'll get right on these taxes. :bad-words:
Update: Perfect. My calculator is dead. AAAARRRRRRGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! :frusty:

I think a Palm emulator for Pocket PC would be the worst :twisted:

Easy CD or SETI@home for PPC would be rather useless. 
Also, a desktop synchronization software written by Microsoft could be a waste of time� now, wait a minute!� :worried:

Have you ever tried to make somthing (web site) in Flash MX ? It was the only program that forced me to switch my desktop resolution hidher that ordinary 1024�768. I think that one who would port Flash MX for PPC would have to be awarded for the silliest person on the earth!

Resource Hacker, not that it's a PPC app or bad, just dangerous. I've been skinning Decuma lately, but the last skinned .dll I sent over caused a hard reset (twice) and I don't know the meaning of a backup. :evil:
