Documents To Go 5 Premium Edition so totally rocks!

been looking for a *proper* office-type suite for my palm for eons now - and i sorely miss Pocket Office which came straight out of the box with my, now my dad's, hp jornada - cos NotePad and Memo on e palm can only do so much, you know what i mean? its like typing a term paper on MS notepad... doable, but adding formatting later, in another app, will probably kill you out of sheer frustration. not that e palm's all that bad, mind, it did come bundled with Documents To Go 3, which is - was - the cutting-edge MS-Office-for-e-palm suite yonks ago (um, for e record, my palm's nearing a yr old already... get ready the cake n candles..). which would be fine, except that it doesnt allow u to create new docs from the palm, tho u can edit stuff uve created on a desktop/notebook and synced into the pda. uhhh in simpler terms that means its not very smart not being able to create new documents.. anyway this new version's really got all the works, does everything from word docs to excel spreadsheets, powerpoint presentations, acrobat pdf files, images and even mail. woo hoo! may be tempted to give quickoffice 5.1 - the other office suite for e palm - the boot.. and i only just installed that this morning.. (then again its not the latest version of quickoffice, either).

enuf geeky rambling from me.. im just overflowing with good cheer now. to think that a trip down holland v, magazine hunting din improve my mood just a short while earlier.. all the angst has disappeared, *poof* into thin air.. for a while, at least, until the deadlines make their presence felt again.
