Very OT I just got a Handspring Visor Deluxe to replace my Nino 500 (which was always losing data....I was a victim of a 1st gen MSFT product); I paid $199 for the Visor. Looking over shareware on CNET and other sites though, I am finding most of the registration fees are $20-$30; that is 15% of the cost of my entire deivice for a simple program like a Thesaurus! Am I the only one amazed at the prices of these very small apps? They should be $5 or $10(at Most); their size is very small and thus could not have taken very long to write. FWIW, I saw a Visor on sale at Best Buy today for $99. I have a difficult time stomaching the fact that an app could be nearly half the cost of the device itself for something so terribly simple as most Palm apps are. </rant> Brian
