Is there any Palm or similar handheld organizer out there that is compatible with the iMac using Mavericks? I'm getting the impression that PDAs are simply not usable with Mac, which strikes me as monumentally moronic.

Palm and "handheld organizer" are a dead technology.

Plus, why do you blame Apple for not supporting it ?
You need to blame the manufacturers of those devices. They would need to update the software. They obviously don't because there is no demand for it.

All smartphones these days contain all the functionality of the Palm era PDA's. I'm not sure if the iTouch's do too. It should be very easy to find a cheap second hand smart phone and not use it as a phone.

iTouches work well enough as a PDA, if that's what you want, but as others have said, it's a dead category. Smartphones ate it.
The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

I had about a million different thoughts that ran through my head when I read this....all of them kept circling around back to this one simple question. What. The. F*@K?!

The only solution I could come to is that we must be dealing with THIS GUY:
