That's a nice thought. (And I'm not being dismissive. I truly think it's a nice thought.)

But what if "what's next" doesn't provide an option to do what I need it to do? Specifically, I'm thinking about how I can't seem to find a program for Android or Maemo that does what ThinkDB did for my Palm Vx. But there are other "issues."

Users like me used to be THE marketplace. Now we're just a small part of it, and we're not economically powerful enough to really affect change. I recognize this, and can accept it. Which is probably healthy since I'm not a programmer and couldn't do anything to "fix" it myself.

But it still leaves me without an upgrade path. Although, an n900 (without cellular) and the Access Garnet Emulator could keep me in business for a few more years.

Yeah, yeah. I know. "Suck it up, you old codger." And I'm not even 40!
