Re: hi...

Paul --

Wow, it's fun to see the peditors forum 
suddenly spring to life, if only temporarily!  :-)

I too stocked up on "new-ish" PalmOS-based Sony Clies (used machines 
via Ebay) but then found myself quickly moving everything to my iPhone 4 (now 
4S).  The Clies and a Stowaway foldable keyboard are on the mementos 
shelf.
 
FWIW:

- For iPhone text editing, Notebooks (http://www.notebooksapp.com/) directly 
imported my many PalmOS memos, preserving the filenames and category hierarchy.  
It has great text searching facilities, allowing me to easily find anything in 
my notes.

- For macro-like keyword expansion, I use TextExpander (http://smilesoftware.com/TextExpander/touch/index.html).

- For MS Office document editing, I use Documents To Go (http://www.dataviz.com/dtg_home.html).

- For bulk text entry via the touch interface, I use MessagEase (http://www.exideas.com/ME), the same 
software keyboard I used for years on PalmOS.  If I have a handy lap or table, 
there is the Apple Bluetooth keyboard (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC184LL/B/apple-wireless-keyboard-english), 
which is how I take all my meeting notes, etc.

- For sync with my computer, I use Dropbox (http://www.dropbox.com).
 
Paul, it was a fun ride with PalmOS, fueled by your pedit suite of 
software!  Thanks again for your legacy of making handheld computers useful for 
note-taking and life organization!  :-)

Hi Guys:

It's good to hear from all of you...

I no longer use 
palms and fully moved to iPhones and iPads. However, I miss
the Palm 
functionality. Of course, these days, it is easy to be connected to
my 
desktop no matter where I am and nothing beats unix when it comes 
to
organizing one's life.

When Palm went out of business, I bought a 
bunch of brand new Palm Centros
(Sprint) thinking that I need to stock up but 
then I quickly moved to iPhone
when the 4S came out (and still have it). I 
also bought a bunch of high
capacity batteries. Now they all sit unused on my 
bookshelf.

So instead of developing pedit/pToolSet, I keep writing unix 
shell programs
that are fun fun fun.

I moved my JFile databases to 
unix too. I use unix tools to manage my data.

For my calendars and to do 
lists I use pcal combined with the standard unix
tools. E.g., I write "c 
bozid" in the terminal window and I get:

03/24 Bozidar Benc died in 2004 
in Croatia

(how sad).

The thing about unix is that I am pretty 
sure that it will survive me as
opposed to all those here today and gone 
tomorrow OSs.

BTW, when I say "Unix" I mean OS X. E.g., I write this 
email with mutt and
emacs in the terminal application of my Mac.

Best 
regards, Paul 

P.S. Anyone who wants to register 
pedit/pToolSet/Laptophack (for free), let
me know.
