The old-fashioned organic one has never been enough. I've depended on one Palm or another for about 5 years.
The one I bought two years ago went missing a couple weeks ago. I've searched the house repeatedly, and called various places I might have left it (even though I was fairly certain it was in the house somewhere).
I keep missing/being late to appointments, not having phone numbers when I need them, not having anything to read while standing in line . . . it's AWFUL!
I gave up and ordered a new one. It is pretty, though. Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003

I could while away the hours Conferrin' with the flowers Consultin' with the rain And my head, I'd be scratchin' While my thoughts were busy hatchin' If I only had a brain.
I'd unravel ev'ry riddle For any individ'le In trouble or in pain
With the thoughts you'd be thinkin' You could be another Lincoln, If you only had a brain.
Oh, I could tell you why The ocean's near the shore, I could think of things I never thunk before And then I'd sit and think some more.
I would not be just a nuffin' My head all full of stuffin' My heart all full of pain. I would dance and be merry Life would be a ding-a-derry If I only had a brain--Whoa!

I also have a Tungsten E and I love it. I typically charge twice a week, because I find myself getting sucked into games too, usually while I'm on the train and there's a forced endpoint (I haven't yet mastered walking through the Loop while I'm glued to a screen LOL)
I got Documents To Go so I could transfer certain spreadsheet databases (my library, my cross stitch stash, addresses, etc) to the Palm and keep them handy at all times. I also got MobileDB (actually, this was before getting DTG) for a bunch of other files that don't need regular updates (like my train schedule and the kids' immunization records). When I got DTG, it came with a memory card of games, although I don't play those games often.
And I totally know what you mean about being lost without it. I have to set all my appointments with alarms so I don't forget that I need to be someplace. Fotunately, I haven't (yet) forgotten to look at it when scheduling something, so I haven't (yet) managed to double-book myself. I have, however, had other people try and double-book me, but that's a totally different issue. LOL

It will play the 20 or so games I already have for the Palm (once I sync it for the first time).

What will you be doing with your old brain? I could use a backup for this addled, organic one I'm currently saddled with.

Oooh, I have one of these. Yes, I like. Although, Robb gives us crap at work because he says Palm's are so out of date. Admittedly, his Casio is much nicer. I use mine as a people tracker mostly. When I go to duty muster I "x" off the people who are here so I know who to yell at later. Then I also use it to take notes during meetings.

I like the Palm OS much better than the other PDA OSes.
Besides, even if I didn't, it's very useful to simply be able to sync a new Palm with the info already stored in my Palm Desktop on my computer.

It seems the reason why the special deal expired the 12th (and included so much) is that the E became obsolete the next day. It was replaced by the E2 -- $50 more, without all the free stuff, and most of the improvements are things I don't care about.

BTW, I don't know how the E works for battery life, but when I play MP3's on my iPaq, you can go to the battery power thing and see the life just drip away from it. I don't know if it does that with headphones, but the built in speaker eats power for breakfast. Has enough battery life to play exactly one MP3.

Today it was both cold and rainy. I was planning to be outside a bit, but not doing a lot of walking in the rain. (If it were warmer, I would have worn a thinner jacket; if I had planned to be out in the rain a lot, my long rain coat.) Therefore, I wore my nice warm, waterproof jacket.
I guess I haven't worn it for quite some time (since early April, I'm thinking) . . . because I found my old Palm in the pocket.
*sigh* Well, if I can find the sync cradle and the charger, it will head to Israel for my brother.
