Supported architectures for D

[Wim Vander Schelden]

I have noticed strange thing just below the surface of my screen as 
well, they look like bubbles, and I have noticed the screens surface is 
very easily damaged (scratches etc) so lets just hope it doesn't break 
just yet. As for the responsiveness of palm os, sure, if you use it for 
its calendar and things like that it may be responsive, but once you use 
its wifi things go wrong :) I never used WM5, but WM2k3 worked nicely 
for me, albeit it often crashed. A friend of mine owned a Dell x50v, and 
it was bulky, power hungry and the UI was dog ugly, way worse than the 
simple WM2k3. Why didn't they just stick their Windows XP teletubbie 
skin (green-blue and a wallpaper of a hill that looks like its a 
screenshot from teletubbieland) on it to make the torment complete?
That said, he API for software development is awful on a palm, its 
something that should have been flagged "deprecated" a few decades ago. 
Thank god their switching to linux :)
