Been a long time, but I'm back...

I've had the opportunity to work with several different PDA operating systems now (GEOS/Zoomer, Palm, Newton & Windows CE), and I am still at a loss as to how these operating systems fail to capture more of the market. I know, ultimately it comes down to what seems to be the main driver for computer technology these days, that being multimedia, and let's face it, PDA's are a long way from being true to that idea. They get close, and then seem to fall behind.

A few months back, I posted about having to thin out my collection. The process continues, but it seems that for every step forward I take, something else comes along to knock me back. Usually, this is more machines.
