PocketMac's Palm Import Software
April 22, 2004
La Jolla, CA--April 22, 2004--PocketMac & HP are offering abandoned Palm
users double rebates to upgrade their PDAs to HP iPaq Pocket PCs and to

for upgrading their old Palm to a new HP iPaq Pocket PC. In addition, they
can also receive a coupon towards the purchase of PocketMac.

so many words," Terence Goggin, CTO of Information Appliance Associates
said. "Mac users have come to depend on Palm's support of the Mac. This

announced that it had updated its virus definitions for Intego VirusBarrier
to protect Mac users against the first Trojan horse that affects Mac OS X.

that it uses is both insidious and dangerous and it is our duty as a vendor
of Macintosh security solutions to protect our users. We don't believe in
waiting until the damage occurs, unlike some of our competitors. The Intego
