FrogFind's "Catch of the Day": Get your styluses ready! (EudoraWeb on Palm OS) 🌴🖊️
Hey Retro Fans!

It's time for our Catch of the Day! Tonight, we have a guest in our logs that takes us right back to the era when phones were just for calling, and smart organizers were known as "PDAs" (Personal Digital Assistants).

Just before 6:30 PM, this exotic creature showed up in the frog pond:

🏆 EudoraWeb 2.1 on Palm OS

Why this is so awesome:
Long before the iPhone or modern Android devices, Palm OS was the undisputed king of mobile productivity. You operated these devices with a small plastic stylus on resistive touchscreens (often still monochrome!).

The name Eudora probably rings a bell for many retro geeks anyway: it was the standard email client of the 90s. But what many have forgotten is that they also released a specially adapted, tiny web browser for Palm PDAs called EudoraWeb.

The fact that someone dusted off their old Palm device today, hooked it up to the net via a serial cable, infrared, or an early Wi-Fi card, and tapped out a FrogFind search with their stylus is just pure magic. This is exactly the kind of tiny display and low-power CPU that FrogFind was built for!

We tip our hats to this handheld hero!

In the late 90's I was looking through all sorts of #email clients for #Windows. #OutlookExpress was probably the most popular but it didn't do "enough" for me. #Outlook was too bloated and was also commercial. I used something called #Eudora for a while and then found a niche client called "#TheBat" from a company based in Moldova.

It was AMAZING.

It still IS amazing. I still use it, more than 25 years later. It has never failed on me. Best email client ever created. https://www.ritlabs.com/en/products/thebat/
