Actually, you shouldn't be accussing Margo of pitching Casio products...
Palmconnect is a Palm Computing product, and is based on the internal
Zoomer software apps which were actually written by Palm. Despite its
hideos price, Palmconnect is actually an excellent program, especially if
you need the functionality of the Zoomer apps on your desktop, which I
often do.
If you have the time and the space, putting Ensemble and Palmconnect
together is an almost ideal setup (I had to install Ensemble, then install
Palmconnect in its own directory, then xcopy everything from
Palmconnect to Ensemble, not allowing it to overwrite anything; clumsy,
inelegant, and far too brute-force, but it worked; it also allowed me to run
the Palmconnect apps on an EGA monitor for awhile, which Palmconnect
by itself wouldn't let me do!).
