And other various documents & crap


How do you use your Palm?

2. Mine has hair on it.... I NEVER use it.

4. Damn... I just left myself wide open for that, didn't I?

I'm so fuckin' out of it tonight that I seriously didn't even see it coming.

5. You didn't see it .... what?

6. LOL - gimme a break!

I've got a remote coated with Silly Putty and no clue how to clean it. (It's been one of those days for the CornField children.)

Good lord, I just realized--I'm more pathetic than I thought I was!

I also have a 512mg card that has less than 20 mg free, and a 128mg card full of videos for when my friend and I go shopping with her son and he needs distraction. My old 64mg card is going to be used with mp3s--I love to listen to podcasts in the car. This week I've been listening to the second season of Blackadder that I bought from Audible. However, I need to buy a 1 or 2mg card really soon--I've run out of space!

My Palm goes everywhere I go--and I mean EVERYWHERE. I hotsync every day first thing when I get home from work, and it stays by my bed charging at night. I carry it with me from room to room. I never write notes on paper any more--everything goes in the Palm.

I started out with a Palm 3e, I think--it had 2mg of memory and no color. I had so many programs on it that each night I had to "rearrange" it so that I could have what I needed for the next day. These new models with the larger memories are great. I wouldn't trade mine for the world!!
