Bad Magnetic Field Maybe?
Me and expensive electronics aren't doing well today.
* My iBook battery has been officially pronounced dead since I was duped by Apple's evil OSX 10.2.8 update debacle. "Here, update your system for free, except for the fact that you'll have to buy a new battery or be content with 20 minutes of battery power even though right before the update you got at least 2 hours."
* My Palm m130 had a little mishap with a three year old. It now flashes a dark blue screen on and off. It can't keep my calendar anymore, but it can be a rescue beacon in case I ever get lost in the woods.
The outcome?
* Apple is shipping me a new battery, for free. Not because they like me, though, but because standard shipping is free. (The battery, of course, is not.) Strangely, the battery was cheaper and more available at the AppleStore than at the big reseller's sites.
* There will probably be no new Palm to replace the dying one. I'll try and see what life is like post-Palm. I was mainly using it for an electronic notepad. Which was fine with geeky me, but probably not necessary, right?
