A Weekend of Palm Frustration

I've had a Palm PDA continuously for about 7-8 years now. I started with the Palm III, upgraded to the Palm V, had a brief time with a Palm Vx, spent two years with my Tungsten E and, last week, purchased a refurbished Tungsten E2 via eBay.

The upgrade path from one to the other has always been fairly seamless: one syncs up the old beast with the PC, plug in the new one, and resync to restore the data. Some minor apps stop working between models because of changes in hardware (eg. colour screen) and minor issues with the OS, but these have mostly been trivial.

( The latest upgrade, from the E to E2 has been nothing but pain. )
