There is further frustration with the limits of the challenge, 
Again, not much network stuff going on...I think I just need to set
aside any expectations of what I thought this was going to be and 
do what I can with what I got...just let the experience unfold as 
it will.  I am able to visit gopherholes and do other things...just
differently.  I was not planning on any extensive or serious 
personal computing projects...more like having a leisurely visit to
the past with my aging hard/soft/wet-ware...and gain a different 
appreciation of what I do and use now.

Today I messed around a bit with Bhajis Loops on the E2.

"Bhajis Loops is an all-in one tool dedicated to the composition of
music for PalmOS Handhelds."

This application seems to have a lot of features.  I installed this
some time ago but have not spent the time to really explore.  They 
have the software on palmdb.net with registration #'s or ways to 
unlock the full version.

Palmdb.net has a whole library of old palm software.  It is my go 
to place when looking for the old favorites...or even discovering 
new old favorites.  I remember when the site first started and they
would have zip files of the entire collection.  I think other users
also contributed their own collections as well.

j00 gots palm juarez, man???  
0-day palm juarez, bruh!!! LOLZ!!!  

The collections were small, but growing.  Eventually, it got big 
enough to house all kinds of software individually with a database 
and search engine.  Not sure how legit all of these titles/reg#s 
are, but I'm glad the resource is there.  I know that some authors 
have donated the software or put it in the public domain.  The 
author of Bhajis Loops gave it to the community and even used to 
have a reg key generator on their website for your HotSync ID.  The
site is no longer there, but it is available in the archives.

I am having to learn Bhajis Loops cookbook style...yes, I kinda 
cheated for OCC...I have the documentation opened on my laptop and 
learning on the E2.  PalmOS doesn't multi-task and it would be a 
pain to switch back and forth.

I have already found some limitations with running the program, 
just navigating around, trying to learn, the application has 
crashed 2x.  I wouldn't want that to happened if I'm in the middle 
of working on something and lose my work.  I think it might have to
do with power (or lack of) or maybe a memory thing, I'll have to 
play around with it m0ar.

The author of Bhajis Loops also has a.nother music app that I want 
to explore next called microbe.  It is also available at 
palmdb.net.  I'll try that one later.
