The problem is not that they produced the wrong tool. They produced the right tool for time at which it was written, and it is still the right tool for my Palm M105, which doesn't have an extension card so cannot handle any sort of files other than Palm database files, of which .PDB files are the normal data files.

The problem is that they haven't created a new product that takes advantage of faster processors, extension memory, and direct to Palm email, that have become common since the original product was produced.

I think the other problem is that marketing departments for new style personal communication devices bundle software without ever considering whether it is useful to their users.
