PocketMac® FAQ
Trivia & Legends

11.1 Who thought of the name "PocketMac®"?

Terence Goggin's dad, Mark Goggin. 

Originally, several people had unofficially dubbed our effort "MactiveSync", as a play on "ActiveSync", but it was suggested to us by some friends in Microsoft that such a name might be frowned upon by their legal department.

11.2 How long has PocketMac® existed?

The first version of PocketMac® was released November of 2001. 

Before that, Terence had been dreaming about it for at least a year.

11.3 Why did you make it?

We love our Macs and we love our Pocket PCs. We imagine this is the same reason most people buy PocketMac®. 

11.4 Will Microsoft or Apple buy you out?

We don't know, and we're honestly not sure we'd want to sell just yet. After all, we're just getting started and this is a lot of fun! We have a wonderful, supportive community of customers who are as interested and passionate about our products as we are.

Of course, if you know someone with a large suitcase full of cash, we'd certainly talk to them, but that's just good common sense.

11.5 Are there any Easter Eggs in PocketMac®?

Ooooh! Are there?
