Hi,
OK, I understand what you mean about trying NetFront.
Upgrading my IPaq to PPC 2002 won't be possible for me.
I'm really a copyright = copyright believer as you told.
In fact, I'm software editor too ( much smaller than
Access :-) ). That's why I try to respect as good as
possible the copyright of others.
Maybe I should not tell that on this forum. But I was a
PalmOne user. My wife is a PPC user and this IPaq was from
her. I offered her a Mitac Mio and I now use her old IPaq
because my Palm is dead. I'm now trying to find the same
functionnality and stability in my IPaq as I had in the
Palm. I think I'd buy a new PalmOne (T5) if I really have
to buy something else. I'm really disappointed with the
the so many bugs of Windows CE, but I recognize that PPC
2003 is much more stable.
Thank you for your advices about NetFront.
J-M Malmedy
