Thirty Four.

That's all. Just thirty four. That's how many days my Palm Lifedrive lasted before it croaked. I'm only telling you this because I know some of you were taking bets on the side.

Thirty four days is a new personal record. It often takes me months to get things to break. I think it's my animal magnetism field. Thankfully, Circuit City bent the rules a bit and gave me all my money back.

Now I'm in need of a PDA (again). I love the Palm system but recognize a dinosaur when I see one (it hasn't been updated since W.'s dad was in office). Principle alone makes it hard to look at a Windows based system, although I may have to relent.
