Default OrchidWiz CD

Turns out a PDA type program was what Alex had been trying to make. I
guess the program is too big to run (with any functionality) on a PDA.
I've looked at PDAs since posting this (becasue I never believe anyone
had have to figure it out for myself) and I see that the processors are
very slow, and they have miserable memory. The OrchidWiz program is big
and a slow processor would only make it crawl at a snail's pace, no?

That said there are a few HP iPAQs with large screens that work in
either portrait or landscape... or tablet PCs.

The real question is WHY the AOS is trying to create their own CD when
this one is here!!! Already done. Only for award photos?? That'd be the
only draw. And from what I understand there's an award photographer who
is holding out on their use of his photos, so they are going ahead
without his pictures anyway.

And replying to my own post:

What would it take to get this onto a PDA or other hand held device? There
are several with larger screens now, so viewing information in a small
screen isn't the limiting factor anymore. THAT'S what we need. I should
email Alex and ask. If he can get it onto a pda he'd make a million
bucks.
