Meeting Summary

The Nashville Palm Users Group is honored to have Howard Tomlinson, the CEO of Astraware, the company behind some of the most popular games for the Palm OS platform. Coming all the way from merry ole England, Mr. Tomlinson will be sharing with us information about his company and some of the exciting games they produce, such as Bejeweled and the newly released Hellfire: Apache vs Hind. Even if you’re not addicted to Bejeweled, this will give you a rare opportunity to talk with one of the most cutting edge software developers in the Palm OS economy.

But it’s not all just fun and games. To help you make time for more free time in which to enjoy the upcoming summer holiday, fellow NPUG member Michael Sawyer (NPUG #400) will be giving us a quick tour of PlanPlus and some of the planning methods behind the FranklinCovey method of life management.

Learn how to be more productive and how to have more fun with your Palm OS device - what more could you ask for out of an NPUG meeting? This is planned to be a landmark meeting for Nashville and we look forward to seeing you on the 15th!
