Well ... I guess I have to re-register so I can put in my two pennies' worth before saying adieu for good !!
I just do not understand the reasoning behind this switch to the new format. One of the reasons that PalmBlvd has (or had) such a loyal following was its format. Like many of the users who has so little time on their hand, I like the ability to go directly to the area of interest which I feel will help me use my Palm more effectively.
I understand the concept that we have to change to improve, but to throw away the uniqueness which sets oneself apart so become like "one of the rest" is improvement ?? I can only ask why "they" cannot just combine the boards based on model (ie. m100 series, m500 series) or manufacturers (Palm, Sony), or some other logical method ??
Methink there is other hidden agenda which the average Joe is not privileged of. I guess "they" think it will be just time before new users who had not experienced the old format will populate the board.
Anyway ... while I was the a "lurker" most of the time, I appreciate the input & helpfulness of the community .. thanks to users like Dr.Mud, pdafan, and many more who cares to help.
Good luck, PalmBlvd
PS: As for the battery problem I posted earlier in which my m515 cannot hold charge, I called Palm and they said it looks like I had a bad battery ... without much fuss, they arrange for me to swap the unit. So if anyone whose m515 has the same problem, call Palm .. your unit may have the misfortune of having a bum battery.
