About Us
Our mission: make the complex, simple.
There’s an old story about the person who wished his computer were as easy to use as his telephone. That wish has come true, since I no longer know how to use my telephone. (Bjarne Stroustrup)
The most amazing achievement of the computer software industry is its continuing cancellation of the steady and staggering gains made by the computer hardware industry.
(Henry Petroski)
Palm handhelds revolutionised personal digital assistants in 1996.
Vaper Software was born out of the frustration of seeing inadequate and overly complicated medical programmes for such elegant hardware.
Vaper, a logbook programme for Anaesthetists, was first released in 2005 and was followed up by VaperOnPaper for Windows – a programme that took all the data collected on a Palm device for analysis and printout.
Apple’s emergence into the mobile/handheld sphere has allowed us to produce some great software:
- Vaper – the original logbook programme now ported to Apple’s iOS
- Pocket MBS – an electronic Australian Medicare Benefits Schedule
- Pocket RVG – an electronic Australian Relative Value Guide
Palm’s decision to abandon the PalmOS platform (and the millions of users still using Palm handhelds) to migrate to the new WebOS – with no backward software compatibility – has led Vaper Software to stop developing and supporting Palm programming.
The old Palm/Windows programmes are still available free, however we cannot offer any support/future development.
