[geeks] How Sad am I?

[RichTea]

Lovely devices I used my Palm Centro, up till some time in 2011. (Replaced
with a Pixi Plus, then a Pre3 and a Veer as my work phone ;)

I still have the Centro and a Treo 680, 650 and my original Palm III is
somewhere too in its box.

I might even have an archive of old software somewhere in my backups.

They had a lot going for them at the time =)


Rich,
