bjarvisMy Palm Tungsten E has died.
The circumstances of its death are a little mysterious. It was working well this morning. While it is nearly always attached to my belt, I found it to be cumbersome when I was crawling face-down on the eaves of our room, cleaning out the eavestroughs this afternoon so I tossed it gently down to ground level where![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kent4str caught it and passed it to cuyahogarvr. Later, when cleaning out one of the ground-level drains, it fell from cuyahogarvr's pocket. Still, the beastie was working competently immediately after this abuse. Two hours later, however, it became unresponsive.
Fortunately, I have an older E2 in storage which, while suffering hardware problems of its own, at least is functional. I've transfered my data to the E2 so I'm back in business. Better yet, I found an auction with only minutes to spare on eBay for another E2 at a reasonable price. While the price was bid up dramatically in the last couple of minutes, I still won it for $60.
I love my PDAs: they've served me very well over the years. Being an information freak, it delights me to have many years of back data available, as well as immediate answers for planning queries for years to come. I just wish I had gigs more RAM in the beast so I didn't have to carry a flash drive with me for larger documents.
