Stuff: white tea; PDAs

[redbird]

I made a cup of tangerine-flavored white tea last night, and came to the conclusion that it's too subtle for me. Now, this may vary with my state of mind, what else I've eaten, and the like (I bought it because I liked it at the store, and I enjoyed the previous cup I brewed a few months ago) or it may be that it's gone stale. Thoughts?

I've been getting frustrated with how slow my current PDA (an IBM Workpad, basically a Palm III clone) is, and went and pulled out the Vx I got on eBay around the same time. And was reminded of why I've been using the Workpad--that Vx has a rippliness in the screen.

So the workpad is on my belt, and I'm back to bidding for Vx's on eBay.

Meanwhile, I need to sort out moving from my PC to the one cattitude replaced with a spiffy new machine, and test whether those old laptops still work, because there's a home for them in Montreal if so.

I found the m515; I'm looking to see where the spare cradle wound up. Further bulletins as events warrant. (Though if you have a "universal connector" cradle already, that works too; which Tungsten was it?)

The Tungsten was of the annoying design that required me to use one wire/plug-in to charge it, and a different one to sync; this might be less annoying to people with a different desk configuration, or without cats who think of wires as toys. The hardware that went with it is probably here somewhere.

I have plenty of Palm Vx cradles, I'm happy to say.

The Vx cradle doesn't work with the "universal connector" Palms and vice versa. (Also, it's USB, rather than serial; I don't know if that's an issue for you.)

I'm still looking for the Vx, but I doubt I'll find it at this point; it may well have already been disposed of, or just wound up buried in a box. If I can find the spare m515-compatible cradle, I'll bundle it all up and figure out a way to get it to you, via adrian_turtle or otherwise.

I have a USB port; I think I should look around/see if I can remember where I put the Tungsten cable.
