My poor brain!

[gilana]

My palm pilot seems to have died last night. It suddenly stopped turning on. Tried a soft reset, tried charging it -- nothing. Of course it's out of warranty, and it's a Tungsten T3, which they don't make anymore, and none of the new models have the stretch display I love on this one. Just tried to call Palm to deal and was on hold for 11 minutes without speaking to a human, at which point they hung up on me. According to the web site it would cost $169 to have it repaired, and I'd probably be without it for a while.

So. Do I order a new one today? Get it repaired? Start hunting eBay for a used one which will probably also die on me soon? Any words of wisdom or comfort? I'm twitching without it already...

OK. A bit of fiddling with the digitizer cable didn't help, so I put the machine back together and it's back to how it was before it broke. I also played with it a bunch and concluded that running it in lefty-sideways mode made the icon bar thing not an issue and was just generally better all around. It'll need to be restored from backup, but I'm guessing you were already figuring on that. Feel free to drop by any time to pick it up; I'm mostly around this weekend, modulo meeting up with an out of town friend on Friday afternoon sometime.
