    * Treo 650 - $599
    * 128 MB SD card - $15
    * Staisfaction from having been given the $15 card for free - priceless.

    Whoa. I mean, I knew about the memory issues, and stuff, but I never thought it would escalate into a full-scale brouhaha. Maybe I should return my palm.

    I don't want to get any of that, you know, brouhaha on me.

    So...um...what's a brouhaha?

      I knew this was going to happen.

      Somebody was going to come along and ruin the joke by telling everyone what a brouhaha was.

      Fine.

      brouhaha (noun) - a large, rather hairy, south American snake known for it's prized tusks. Because of their value, and inability to breed in captivity, they have been hunted nearly to extinction, and are therefore considered unlucky.

    Your address book being bigger than 128MB is the problem they're trying to fix :P.

    I always get a good feeling when companies do the right thing to fix their mistakes. Where's my free harddrive from Microsoft?
