Re: Free wireless calculator for the PalmOS

Hello John,

Yes, that is a good idea.  I was thinking of making a low-priced commercial
version allowing you to keep your own stock of equipment.  I just need to
look at the time it would take to make the solution nice to use.

Having a generic list might be good but it could get big quickly.  

I would also like to add things like 
* saving the calculations themselves
* run a test against database items to see which would give you the best
result for the given calculation
* check generic databse update against a website one to get the latest card
updates

As Ralph said, I always want a lean and mean version that is simple to use.
 Then a more fancy version.

So, thanks already for your comments and keep it coming.  I will update it
again in maybe another month (unless a problem is found).

Sincerely,
Shawn Giese
