Happy birthday Palm!

Ten years ago today, on January 28, 1996, Jeff Hawkins & Ed Colligan introduced the first PalmOS handheld - the Palm Pilot - to the world at Demo ‘96 at the Indian Wells Resort in southern California. (via Palmaddicts)

Free antibiotic guide

Emergency Medicine Doc reminds us that the John Hopkin’s Antibiotic guide is available free for PalmOS (no PPC versions I’m afraid WM fans) and via the Web.
