Piloting Palm (by Andrea Butter & David Pogue)
| Great book. Get it.
It's all about how Palm and Handspring was formed and the lives of the people behind the whole success storey; Jeff Hawkins & Donna Dubinsky.
It also accounts Microsoft failures (haha..) and their quest to create the now fairly successful Pocket PC

'The list' goes up 2day
- 'the list' that has been haunting me a lot for the past fews weeks will 'officially' go up 2day.
I have 2 say a few things 1st... to all those who are listed, i say sorry for the inconvenience / embarrassment or any other forms of jesting and teasing that shall accompany this
hopefully getting this out in the open could possible clear the annoyances that have come 2 me ever since this 'list' was formulated back in 1998... sigh....
- the list is here
- u might need this a program to translate it... it shall come soon.....
- if those in the list want 'the list' 2 b removed just mail me complaining.... if every1 does it, it shall be removed....
- pls note that this 'list' is not to hurt any1... i just hope that this will somehow possible eleviate the annoyances from my fellow 'frens' buggin me abt them.....
- ppl feel free to comment in the guestbook or h8 mail me.....
