| After retiring, I no
longer had a need to carry a laptop computer with me, but I needed something
to remind me to take my pills, remind me of appointments and such. I wanted
it to be flexible and reliable, and finally settled on a pocket pc, an
Ipaq, which I used for several years. It finally wore out and I found that
the machine had been bought out by another company, but the reliablity
and flexability were no longer there. After wasting several hundred dollars
trying to make do with an inferior product and much annoyance trying to
get the manufacter to fix the problems, I gave up and bought a Palm OS
device, which meets my needs very well.
Something I really missed on the pocket pc was the ability to make my own bible study resources for it. Though there are several good study programs available, the best being Rick Meyers' Pocket E-Sword , there is currently no way to make your own material for the program. Palm Bible+, a GPL bible project does not have this limitation, it being possible and fairly easy to make your own bibles and commentaries for use with the program, I think of it as the OLB for the Palm. There are several web sites on the internet that post many bibles in several languages as well as some of the same public domain vintage commentaries we have in the Olb. You can access the links page on the Palm Bible+ site for a listing of most of these sites. In addition, I am doing versions of some of my own work that I will post here soon.
