[the] Code Girl (aka UnrulyGrrl)

I decided I wanted to give a color Palm a shot, so I bought a m505 about 2 weeks ago….got it for only around $35 (no software, cradle, nothing… and battery was completely discharged…..screen was covered with I don;t even know what). Without the backlight on (super battery suckage), it was hard to see the display. The battery also drained quickly even with the backlight off. So I bought a ‘high capacity’ replacement battery and a set of Torx screwdrivers. I got one screw off. The rest I think I just stripped. ooops.

So i just stumbled on an m515 (supposed to be the super succesor to the m505 with much better display) ending in 5 minutes (eBay of course) and only $20. The catch: It won’t power up even in the cradle. I came in at the last minute (literally) and put in a max bid of $50. I ended up getting it for only $33 (before shipping). I’m praying that the only problem is a totally shot battery. If so, I can use the battery that I had intended for the m505, and I just got myself a lightly scuffed m515 for a mere $33 when it’s selling most places for $130. Wooooooohoooooooo

and from that one week when I was using the Visor Deluxe, I felt that I just *had* to have wireless and did a ‘pre purchase’ of a wireless SpringBoard module on Amazon. Turns out yesterday someone was willing to accept what I was willing to pay (at that time anyway). Promptly charged to my CC and on its way to me. Even though I don’t want or need it anymore. Well I should be able to get good
money for it as it’s nearly impossible to find.
