I think it would be good to add an own section in the programs section for PDAs as there is for Turtles.

Moved to Forum Discussion.

If it becomes necessary, it may happen.

once 1.6 final is out, I'd suggest adding it immediately. We'll almost certainly want one eventually, as we did with OS's and do with turtles, and it'd be a lot easier to have it to start with than to try to move threads from general programs into a sub-forum after the fact, right?

Couldn't agree more.

I can't really think of any arguments against creating it.

Actually, I could view it as a waste, being as some will be os's, and some will be nomal programs. Most of them *should* work on a default computer. However, I do like thIngs organized. :3

you can say that they should, but most people don't even bother making their programs that use color do anything besides crash when run on b&w computers, and I'll be shocked if people in general make programs that handle term_resize events and adapt to multishell's task bar in 1.6, so… yeah.

They're called "Pocket Computers", not "Portables".

You're the only one who has said the word 'Portables' in this thread. Okay well now I have as well, but yeah.

He was correcting a misnaming I had made when setting things up in preparation for the release of 1.6. :)/>
