That's pretty standard. Apple did it with each successive generation
of Newton, Intel does it with each successive generation of x86 CPU,
what exactly is your point? Would you prefer they simply stop
improving on their product line?

That's the only *commercial* software. There are quite a few
shareware programs available for the OG, many of which make up for
areas lacking in the OG's software (text editors, file managers,
etc...).

Clip&Go doesn't work with files. It works with the clip board.
Would you prefer perhaps that Geoworks and HP redesigned not only the
OmniGo clip board (how it works, etc...), but the *Windows* clip board
as well?

Have fun!
