Amen, Brother...Lawrence is cool. BTW, to the people who say UserLand never helps its users, I gotta say this. They must not know Lawrence. Raise your hand if Lawrence Lee has helped you get past some kind of problem. He does such excellent work, he's so steady and smart, and helps so many people, and it's as if he didn't exist to some.   [Scripting News] 12:39:37 AM

AvantGo Removes Limits on Custom Channels. Lori is on the ball yet again! She picks up the following encouraging news from PalmInfocenter: "Last month, AvantGo announced a new policy under which it limited the number of subscribers to custom channels to just eight people for each channel. It has now discarded this policy and announced a new one. AvantGo will still limit access to some custom channels but the company will look at each channel individually before making a decision on it. Channels that become popular by word of mouth will not be restricted. Channels that advertise for subscribers and offer products or services for sale will need to sign a contract with AvantGo. However, AvantGo will still require an agreement for all channels with more than 1,000 subscribers. The owners of these channels will be notified when they reach the limit." I'm glad they're seeing the problem with thinking they could cut off everyone that can't afford $1000 to pay them for a channel. I would like to see this company succeed, especially now that they're back in touch with their user base.[The Shifted Librarian] 7:44:12 AM
