Normally I don't pay much
Normally I don't pay much attention to people complaining, but this recent comment on Macintouch caught my eye:
[Larry Campbell] "[A]t first all seemed well. No more waiting for Classic to launch! But then I tried opening my calendar from another login ID (I use two: one for work and one for home, but they share the same Palm Desktop database). No go; Palm Desktop silently (no error messages) refuses to open the data file even though I made sure file permissions were OK. In an attempt to figure out a way around this I deleted all my Palm preferences files. Now even the original login ID can't open the file. The file is unopenable! This spells DATA LOSS, an unforgivable bug."
No, what this spells is YOU'RE USING BETA SOFTWARE. And if you're using beta software, public or no, without having a backout plan, ie backing up your data beforehand, then the only person you shouldn't be forgiving is yourself.
