That's food for thought, Warren. My stepdson, who is a computer geek...and that has a very lucrative business, always uses a Sony clie.

I'll have to check out Palm247 to see what they say exactly. I've had a T5 for a over a year now, with no problems so far. I love it! But then again, I love my daughter's iPaq too, and want one of them too. lol!

I agree with Warren on a major point... not to put all of one's eggs in one basket with an all-in-one phone/PDA thingy. It's too risky (still) to have all that stored info "online" constantly.

Warren,
I don't understand what you're saying about the memory...I assume it's the memory that the Palm came with. I had most of my things on a memory card which blew up big time at the same time my 600 crashed. I put the memory ard back in, and the whole thing crashed again.

Yes the memory I’m talking about is the RAM the hand held uses to run your programs. With static, if a problem arises, most of the time it can fix itself with out a reset, thereby by making it more reliable. Don’t get me wrong, the Palm platform is good, but I have found that the windows platform is more flexible, due to you can “explore” the file structure like you can a desktop computer. Another thing I do not like about Palm is when they update their operating system some programs will not run on it. I have found this to be case with several vendors. Then the only option is to buy their new version. But I guess I’m just old school and don’t like vendors telling me I have to buy different versions to run on older Palms. Case in point is a bible software suite; I’m still using a Palm W and a Palm 505m, and Palm IV. All these run on different versions of Palm OS, and there software is written for certain versions. So I had to buy two versions of their bible reader in able to run them on each device.

You got that right! Although from time to time I do rest my iPaq, it usually more as a maintenance issue to clear up any problems that could be there that I don’t know about, but mostly I will just check to see what program(s) are running in background and force them to close. Another plus in my book. I don’t think there is a way to close programs running in the background with palm, other then resetting it. Please note all comments are concerning the Windows for Mobile plat form and not Windows XP which would be a whole other topic. (Mostly good too though)

I'm not too sure, but I don't think you can even have another program running in the background with Palm. No multi-tasking whatsoever, lol! Maybe the Lifedrive is different, or some of their newer ones, but mine is one and only one program at a time.

Well the software itself dictates it, but it is possible. Although the main point is, if you have a program that will not close properly with the palm, you will have to do a reset. With the windows platform, you are able to close it with out a reset. Does that make sense?

My third hut's foundation has always been visible...until my glitch. Now once I reach the necessary population, I just place a builder there, Once he starts building, the hut then becomes visible. There is a trick, but the appearance of hut 3 is not it.

Ok this is really weird. Some of my puzzles became unsolved again for the SECOND time yesterday!!! This time nothing happened, no reset whatsoever. Didn't even install any new softwares. As the 1st time, all constructed structures are undone with no apparent reason.

I still have a copy of the SaveGame.pdb that I hotsync on 18th March. And I have the SaveGame.pdb of 19th March as well if the LDW team will like to look at them. This is a serious glitch IMHO!

Just checked my game, puzzle #4 and #5 is shown to be completed but in the game itself, they are still unsolved. Because I've set my builders on construction, puzzle #1, #3 and #6 are completed for the 3rd time now. Puzzle #8, #9 and #12 are yet to be re-solved. Sigh...

Ok I can't edit my post, so I have to do a new post to update my "plight".

My villagers have now re-completed all the constructable structures except clearing the blockage, restoring the garden and move the boulder.

These three puzzles appeared solved in the Puzzle status. However, they are all unsolved in the game itself. The 1st time my puzzles became unsolved, I was not able to move the boulder ever again because the status said it has been solved.

This time my puzzles became unsolved again, my lagoon and garden became two unsolvable puzzles because they're also considered solved by the puzzle status.

If I pull the villagers over the site of the blockage, they are confused and said more researched may be needed. But they will automatically go clear the blockage by themselves and then they are not confused by it. But it can't never be solved because the foundation is never built. So they just kept clearing the blockage to no end.

They are also curious about the field (where the garden is supposed to be restored) when I pull them there or they get curious on their own. But if I bring a nursing mom over, she feels very good in the garden?!

I have screenshots if you need them and also the savegame.pdb for yesterday's game and the last one before the game went haywired again for the 2nd time.
