Agreed about reselling Intellilink.

Speaking of re-selling; the connectivity pack for the OGO is a legacy
product of Palm Computing (makers of Graffiti). The nearly identical package
was sold as 'PalmConnect' for the 100LX/200LX line for the past three years
or so. Palm doesn't sell it anymore, and posted a notice that they were not
planning on releasing a Win95 version (the hotsync stuff doesn't work on the
LX version under win95).

HP would have been much better off converting the original LX connectivity
pack (which was DOS-based, but marvelous) to Windows and then providing
compatibility with the OGO file formats. Then you'd have something that
would run the GDB files as well.

Oh well....
