Palm fixes their Mac OS X software! Palm Desktop 4.2.1 Rev D now available, with an explicit admission that the permissions thing was wack and is now fixed.

Oh, and I found my Tiger install disc, though not after buying a new one from a friend. I was disappointed to discover (years after everyone else, I'm sure) that Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger does not include the Mac OS 9 system software. I still have 10.2 and 10.3 install discs, and even an OS 9 disc that came with our iBook years ago, so I'm not hurting for system folders. But apparently I'm too chicken to run an OS 9 installer on my Powerbook, and I've lost interest anyway. :)
