Hmm..I think you have me mistaken for someone else, considering that this is my first time posting and I don't have an internship at any Microsoft WinCE things.
I actually received a Palm Pilot Professional (old school) as a high school graduation gift from my parents. The first thing I did with the device (after setting the time, date, etc.) was download far too many games and install them on my Palm. It was fun for a while, but as I continued to dump all sorts of apps on my Pilot, it started to freeze periodically and crash regularly. Frightened at what I had done, I hid my Pilot in a dark corner of my desk drawer and forgot about it for more than a year (and after the warranty had ended, of course). Now, a year later! All the news about Palms renewed my desire to be in-sync, so I decided to try using it again. I swore to myself that I wouldn't install any extra applications on it, then proceeded to put all of my address, schedule, and random info jonx on my PalmPilot. I thought I might be deluding myself to believe that the problem had just gone away as a result of my neglect, but the Palm did work for a few days. Then it froze! The only way to get out of its frozenness was to reset everything. After I told my brother about the regularly scheduled freezings, he suggested that I do a "hard reset" and wipe out everything. I tried that and was so excited after 4 consecutive days without crashing that I announced to all my friends that the Palm issue had been solved. Then on the fifth day, as I was trying to retrieve some very important information for one of my classes, it just wouldn't turn on!! Now to make my Pilot turn on, I have to put in new batteries each time. So I decided that after all this time, I should finally let go. I'm suffering from Palm withdrawal, feelings of isolation and helplessness..cluelessness, chaos and the like. But life goes on, and my system of scrawling things on crumpled and torn bits of paper is more expedient and trustworthy anyway. Good luck, users. May you learn from my mistakes.
