Hi. Back in the earlier days of AvantGo, I a humble user discovered the joys of reading my local newspaper on my palm device. Ever since AG started their thing with requiring a subscription from the content provider, I've been wandering in the wilderness. Oh the travail of the macuser!! The best I can do at the moment is use iSiloX to manually create a .pdb file to install on my Visor during hotsync every day! Not exactly set-and-forget :( Meanwhile, as is the way of things for macusers (especially pre-OSX), I beg and plead with the folks at Handstory, Mobipocket, iSilo etc to provide a web-clipping feature in their macOS desktop software (like they do for every other major OS!! - grrrr!) Basically all I want is simply to read my local city newspaper on my Visor. Not too much to ask, surely?? I'm just wondering whether there's a kind person somewhere with maybe a Windows version of say Handstory or Mobipocket, who would be willing to use the webclip thingy to create a channel/script/clip (whatever it's called) for the handheld version of the newspaper in question, that I could schedule to download the data for me every day. Or alternatively - other suggestions welcome (but don't bother suggesting anything that involves programming, scripting or text-editing .... I'm far too techno-challenged for that!) Please!!? ... Someone?? ... Hello..... Anyone....??? -- Regards, Lance <�))>< Werribee, Victoria, Australia email: lancel@DONTSPAMminister.com [Delete UPPERCASE characters when replying]
