how quickly we are addicted

A few months ago, the Boy came home from work with an old Palm Pilot. Someone had given it to him when they got a new one. Now the Boy didn't really want it but I'd been making noises about wanting one for a few months. Presto, I get a Palm Pilot.

Its a little old, has nothing but the very basic programs on it and it doesn't have the software to interface with our computer. Still, it has a date book and an address book and a todo list and its easy on the batteries. Wonderful. I loved it. I still can't consistantly use the pen to write a "y" but it is definitely one of the more useful little toys I own. I named it Fribbit.

Somehow, Fribbit got left at home today. No phone numbers, no date book, no todo list. I'm at a loss. I just scheduled 3 appointments at various barns this weekend and I HAD TO WRITE THEM ON PAPER!!! Oh the horrors. I feel completely out of whack because Fribbit isn't here to keep all my records in order.

I recommend you get any hardware needed and find software to interface with the computer. If you cannot find it online, I may have copies of older versions of the Palm Desktop. Really, if it is that old, you can lose all your data just by having the batteries run out (the really old Palm Pilots have NO Flash on them, it is all RAM), so the computer backup is invaluable when this occurs. I have only had it happen to me once or twice, but still, I have 6-7 years of data on mine now so I wouldn't want to lose it. (That'll be the biggest down side if I ever go to a WinCE PDA.)

...I wanted a Palm Pilot when I was working. Now I need one because the hormones have killed my memory. :-P
