[X4U] Implications of Boot Camp

[Michael Elliott]

Jim,

Your comments just drove home something that REALLY peeved me  
yesterday. I subscribe to pdr.net, and occasionally get emailed links  
to free software for coding, etc.

Just yesterday, I saw what looked like a nifty medical coding (ICD-9)  
program that is available for both Palm and PocketPC.  Unfortunately,  
the installer is an .exe program that "automatically installs the  
right files for you."  No .zip file or other options available for  
Mac users.  And no contact info to contact the developers...just a no- 
replay at foo.com email address!

Why, oh why would you make an installer Windows-only for a Palm OS  
program??

Michael
