PALMistry

The Saga Is Complete.
All forms of computing technology is indahouse!

The latest addition is one I would consider unorthodox.
Why so?
This is neither new or old.
It is a very new model and new item in my collection,
however, it is a second-hand refurbished item with not so pristine condition.
I had sourced for this online.
The contact person is either via email or via visiting his shop.
Realising that he might have many models,
I visited his place.
Small little shop in a plaza in the East.
The shop is filled with HEAPS of refurbished computer-related hardware.
I guess majority is laptops.
I was awed by the sight of a huge shelf of laptop adapters.
Nevertheless, my interest is in the palm PDAs.
They had a wide selection of Sony Clies while only Zire 71,72,Tungsten T5 and Tungsten W.
Clie are out for me, since they run with Memory Stick!
So the only palms I am interested in are the palmONEs.
There I had the Tungsten T5 in my hands, selling a price more attractive than the rest. Plus T5 is the most recent and best spec PDA, only inferior to the LifeDrive (a 4GB HDD-PDA Daemon!). All the other shoppers were eyeing on it while I alashed the price down big time! So tempted were they!
But the Tungsten T5 never left my hands since then....

Thus, now presenting...
