Welcome

Lifedrivedoc.com began as a place to talk about the Lifedrive. It soon became apparent that it was much more than that. Since moving on from my Lifedrive, I am engaged in more avenues of technology. That technology has intersected with my professional life - Medicine as well as my social life.

As noted above, the blog is about a lot of things in relation to technology. If you are looking for Lifedrive related material, I am currently dividing the blog so that those searches will be easy for you to find. Most of them will be pre 2007, that should help. Additionally, if you are looking for the links that used to be on the left border. They will be back up in a different format soon. I do enjoy reading about new things to do with the Lifedrive, so you can feel free to let me know about those. I will also post those on the site.

When a Major Player gives up, what does this say?

Today, I read with amazement that Sammy McCloughlin has ceased using his Lifedrive. Infact, he gave it away to one of his partners. I wrote a long piece detailing this important news, but the blog timed out before I could save it. However it was a long diatribe about how Palm should do something about this device quickly, such as offering rebates for a new model or correcting the software glitches. I am losing money with this device. It is no longer keeping track of my charges because with each patient that I add, it crashes. This, despite the numerous resets.

Anyway, I have decided to spare the long diatribe and leave open the question, what does it say about a device and a company when one of its major supporters, one day before the announcement of a Microsoft enabled Treo, publicly announces that he is returning to his old Palm device?

I'll save the long speech.
