Button Launch is a utility to let you launch applications (and prefence panels) by combinations of the hardware buttons.
Button Launch uses 6 of hardward buttons (the two scroll buttons and the four "application" buttons) in two ways: a short tap (tap) and a long press (tap and hold for more than 1/3 of a second).
The idea is that you set one of your application buttons to launch Button Launch.
Then you push the button you've assigned to a given application and Button Launch takes you there.
Thus, if you assign the "memo pad" button to Button Launch and, in button Launch assign a short-tap on the memo pad button to the memo pad, two taps on the memo buton will get you to the memo pad.
A tap on the memo button and a tap on the todo button might get you to the Mail application, and so on.

NoWaiTZ NoWaiTZ removes wait states from RAM and ROM on IIIx and V, and minimizes streaking on the 3x. Does NOT interefere with beaming or serial port speeds since it DOES NOT OVERCLOCK.
Any instability is because the system will not tolerate the lowered wait states (or an app uses a static timing loop and won't work at higher speed) and is not something I can fix

PocketC Runtime Palm OS PocketC Runtime - The runtime version is for those who have no desire to compile applets, but want to run someone else's applet. Using this version saves memory, since the compiler has been removed. This version is freeware and may be distributed freely by developers, but only in its entirety
USB Sync Fixer USB Sync Fixer - Some Palm M500's and M505's have sporadically quit Hotsyncing. One way to solve this issue is to drain the battery on the Palm until it is absolutely dead. Then charge the Palm back up and it will Hotsync again.
While this does not work on every Palm, we've found it works on about 8 or 9 out of every 10 Palms
