What apps stay on your Palm?

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering... what third-party apps stay on your Palm device
for long periods of time without getting deleted?

For me, they're iSilo, MobileDB and Acrobat Reader for reading and
creating files, Golf and Klondike for games, and Invisible and Mirror,
even though I rarely use them.

Plucker! I can't beleive nobody else has mentioned it yet. That and
DateBk5 are probably the only ones I *really* use.

Roughly in order of usage (most to least):

Datebk5
Micromoney
Handyshopper
TopSecret
DocumentstoGo (not the greatest app, but one of the fastest ways
for me to create large journals and move them into other formats)
Metro
Astro Info
Minibar

Infrequently used but must-haves:

RPN
IconMgr
FileZ
Earthlink Access # Database

Google "ishido". I haven't written the help yet.

Basically, it is a tile game. There are six patterns and six colors. Which
means 36 tiles, but there are two of each tile so there's 72 tiles in the
tilebag. The board is 12 x 8, so there are 96 squares. The catch is you have
to place tiles next to a tile that matches color or pattern. The first six
tiles are placed for you, one of each pattern and color. You place the rest,
and try to empty the tilebag. You get a bonus for emptying the bag (1000
pts), leaving 1 tile (500pts), or leaving 2 tiles (100pts).

Placing a tile next to one tile gets 1 point, next to two tiles (must match
one color, and one pattern) is 2 points, next to three tiles (must match two
colors and one pattern, or two patterns and one color) gets you 4 points.
Placing a tile in the middle of four tiles is a "four way" (matching two
colors and two patterns) and gets 8 points. If you make a 4-way all the
points double, which adds up if you set them up early.

Well, I guess I just wrote the help file. ;-)

It somewhat addicting, and you definitely get better with practice!

I writing a C# version for Windows. If C# does what they say, it may end up
as a web game, also.
