LapTopHack Manual

[Shamrock]

Anybody know if there is an ENGLISH version of the LapTop Hack manual. I have NEVER seen such a case of obfustication and bombascity in my 22 years in the tech industry. It's almost ONE HUNDRED pages!!! Is this program worth wading through all that BS? I was hoping it would help enhance my PocketTop IR keyboard which I dearly love but I haven't got THAT much time on my hands.

He is speaking sarcastically when he says "English".

I long ago concluded that the amount of time it would take to read and re-read and study the LapTopHack manual, and learn to use the program by asking 100 questions to the appropriate Forums...

... would be far more time than it would take me to pick up a stylus, tap the screen and put down the stylus, over the next 10 years.

(Which reminds me of the race I once saw between someone ordering a pizza from an online web site, and someone phoning a pizza order to the same restaurant - phoning took significantly less time.)

I had the same reaction to the LaptopHack manual (and years ago, to the PEdit software from the same developer).

That's what prompted my comment in another thread -- I think the readmes and the manuals are a window to the software; I check them before I install anything. If a developer can't write a decent manual or readme, he should get someone else to do it for him.

Talk about a case of someone who thinks he has to pole-vault over an anthill. . .

LOL. I actually think it is easier to just use a Laptop. Paul's apps are certainly some of the most powerful written for the Palm.... but they have too many features and are too complex for most users, IMHO. But hey, different strokes.....

Well, I see others have hit the same wall and no "cheat sheet" out there. It's a shame and it seems so out of context for the PDA paradigm of efficiency. Oh Well! Yet another fine effort snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.
