RE: Re: What's that sound?

Gregg will probably address this himself, but the "pda-wallet" software is
Pocket Purchase. This software allows you to purchase the program directly
from your PDA and also to have updates directly downloaded to your PDA. You
can actually set it so it doesn't "phone home" unless you want it to.

This is common practice with many desktop programs, although New Yanoff is
the only Palm program other than the ones from Blue Nomad that I know of
that uses it (I'm sure there are others that I don't know of). I've used it
with Blue Nomad products and it works well. When I tried to purchase New
Yanoff using it, it bombed, but I was using a different PDA then and I think
Gregg has since fixed it.

It's been a while since I've installed New Yanoff, but I think you can
choose not to install Pocket Purchase. At worst, you can delete the program
from your Palm and disable the hot sync conduit on your desktop.
