Palm Pilots...

[Cyberion]

RANT...

I took my palm pilot off the cradle. Turned it on.. and had to do the calibration setup... Huh?? I never had to do this after the first time, unless I wanted to.

I lost eveything in my palm. Gladly all my assignments are written down on my day planner. Another one where technology is given the thumbs down.

Anyone know if this is just a glitch?? It sucked but its a good thing to have to rebuild things. The second time around they are stronger.

Plus, I might install the Palm Desktop on my computer NOW. I didn't think I needed to. But I was wrong.

Thank you for listening to my rant. BACK YOUR STUFF UP NOW!!!

Hey Cyberion,

Could the battery have died? Or perhaps there is a glitch with the battery itself? Usually if the battery loses all of its charge (perhaps do to the lack of use for a while, or forgetting to charge it), all the memory that is stored gets wiped out. This was the case with my Compaq Ipaq. I always made it a habit to hot sync all my stuff to my computer just in case something like this happens...

I too learned the hard way... But it is a good lesson - make sure the unit is charged, and be sure that you hot sync every night!

I had a Palm too and it did the same thing. If I took the batteries out to change them, I lost everything and had to update from the backup on my pc. What a pain. If yer batteries run out while u were on the road, ya had to wait till i got home to update the database. Had to always start off from scratch. Not sure what went wrong with it as I bought a dell Pocket PC. ...griz
