Re: Tap Link

I understand your point, but I disagree in this context, as a member of
a list oriented at discussion of and assiting with Tungsten devices, I
don't think that it is very fair of us to be snotty with people because
they didn't google it.

I join the list to help, myself, if I had the time, I would have found
out if the software had a freeware version, given the link to the site,
and then said that perhaps he should try google in the future as it may
provide more help than I could have provided.

I often find software for my PDA that I didn't even know existed going
through this list in that way.  I do the same with other lists as well.
 I don't expect everyone too, but if all you have to say is to google
it, perhaps you shouldn't comment.
