I killed my Palm

Boo hoo!!!!
I drove my car over my Palm after it fell unseen out of my pocket.
It is cracked and warped, remarkably intact, but dead.
Waaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Ouch! :(
That's very appropriate, considering that I see my Palm as an extra lobe of my brain.

I saw a mate's after it jumped out if his pannier, danced on the spokes of his bike and then bounced/skidded on the road. The screen was cracked and black and the case scratched/dented. He attached it to the wall of his study like a memorial plaque. ;)
Fortunately, when he got a replacement and synched it with his computer, all his data was there.

Good luck with yours! :)

Good idea putting it up on the wall.

I was going to pull mine apart and peek at its innards (I love pulling machines apart). If I can get a new screen for it I just might be able to persuade it to work.

I've been waiting for someone to say something about how paper doesn't die when run over by a car so that I can point out that I can easily transfer all the data to another machine as I have it all backed up on a few desktop computers, like your friend did. You can't do that when you lose paper data to fire or water or theft.

I probably won't buy a replacement Palm till the new Linux-based ones come out... soon... [salivate, drool]
