LOVE my Palm TX, and still read books on it every day. The screen's larger than every smartphone I've compared it to, which still makes me smile. Accessories actually aren't too hard to find on either Amazon or Ebay. Had to replace the screen when I stepped on it a year after I got it, DirectFix supplied that, and the instructions:) Better believe I bought a metal clamshell case for it after that!
Why not upgrade to a smartphone? I don't want to be THAT connected; I want some time to myself. Besides that, the replacements cost MORE than the full price I paid for the TX originally!
Funny thing is, my TX has worked reliably for three years, and my mother-in-law's e-ink Kindle died from "screen freeze" only one week over it's warranty.
Amazon WONT just swap it out, only offering a refurb if we sent the old unit and $65 in (yeah right, when a brand new unit costs $75).
Mother-in-law said heck with that, and bought a sony reader.
Anyone want a broken Kindle keyboard?
{sarcasm} Well of course we should obey their laws, after all the US is trying to get them to obey our "Intellectual Property" laws, aren't we? {/sarcasm}
Yep, as far as they're concerned, the job's not done until the internet is dead, dead, dead, DEAD! Or at least, all this "streaming" and "buying online" nonsense is stopped, and we are again forced to purchase silver discs at inflated prices, and only watch TV shows on the schedule the networks set. And oh, by the way, any recording device is like the Boston Strangler to the media it can record....
You don't have to consent to a search of your cell phone. Police have the explicit right to search it once you're pulled over for any reason. See: http://goo.gl/pKrOf
This is WHY I haven't owned a cell in years; why make it EASY for them?
She advocates no anonymity on the Internet? How about starting by posting online all YOUR contact info like phone number, home address, etc, Randi? I'm sure guys somewhere would be more than GLAD to show you why no anonymity on the Internet might be a problem...
Some would say she's a dumb broad, but that's obviously NOT the case. She's just parroting her brother's stupid money-grubbing ideas.
The companies I've worked for spent as little as possible on I.T. including personnel. They don't CARE about the future; they want money NOW, and hiring more people costs money. As for digging in youjr heels and refusing; with all the unemployment, they can fire you, and hire a replacement in less than a day, and go on with "business" as usual. Be glad if you've got ANY vacation; the trend now is to make I.T. personnel "independant contractors" and give them NO benefits at all, and NO vacation.
I was once "fired" because I was the "old hand" in a department that had a sudden influx of developers over ten years junior to me. Yes, I sued and won based on age discrimination.
From my standpoint, managers hire younger workers because they'll work longer hours for less pay, and are less likely to have the "encumbrace" of families to keep them from working OT, or that call them away because someone's home sick, or has to be run to an appointment.
Also, the boss usually prefers people his own age who'll go drinking at Bennigans every night with him.

Surprisingly, HP's still got Palm Desktop downloads up for most of their devices here. http://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/33529_en.html KlaymenDK, If none of the DLs there meet your needs, let me know, and I'll do some more digging.

Some religious groups do understand technology, and are using it appropriately http://tech.lds.org/
Only people with piles of money can run for public office. That blocks the majority of the American public. Also seems to mean that those who CAN run aren't very ethical. http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/Canada/20120227/study-says-rich-more-likely-to-lie-120227/
Holding public office seems to cause loss of intelligence.

Don't you know how it works? The US government and the companies that own it have said for years, "Don't do as I do, do as I _say_ you should do."
We're almost there.... http://theinfosphere.org/Lightspeed_Briefs

Big Media always asks one question about _anything_ using "their property". "Does it put money in my pocket? No? _Then_SUE_ them and stop it NOW!"

The boss "knows" he can replace you cheaply and easily with one ad on Craigslist. Or outsource to Bangalore and REALLY save money.
