How annoyed with myself am I?

tenayaVERY!!!
I went out grocery shopping tonight, a lot of stores, stocking up on kitty stuff in preparation of our up coming trip. I was using the program Checklist on my palm Life Drive. I LEFT my baby in the shopping cart!! I went back about 15 minutes later, but it wasn't in the stack of carts and the checker denied anyone had turned it in. Now that I think about it, one of the shoppers currently in the store probably had it. :( I called back later, talked to the manager and left my name and number but I swear he sounded barely literate. He didn't know what a PDA was, so I said it was a small computer. Hopefully, when whoever realizes that without buying a powercord, it will be useless when the battery runs out, they will return it. Yeah, I don't think that will happen either. An honest person would have brought it right in.
So, everything was backed up. I have an enormous amount of fanfic on a SD card--gen and slash. Someone has my porn..... :(
I've already brought my Dell Pocket PC up to speed, got the latest fanfic on it, the games reloaded; it's ready for my vacation next week.
But damn, that makes me annoyed with myself!! That was my entertainment center!
I've been to ebay and am watching a few possibles.
So, do any of you have a cool newish PDA that you think is fab? I want to play games, read fanfic and have some photos loaded in it.

Good luck getting it back. Maybe someone will have an attack of conscience and turn it in. We get all kinds of things brought up to the desk that you'd think would be immediately tucked into someone's pocket...sometimes days later.

It's cool how they've finally changed the charge design to take those small USB cord hook-ups (the kind cameras use). And the memory cache is larger, as is the drive. It also has built-in Wifi, but I don't like that feature: on my wifi Asus, I always go online instead of write.

Date: 2008-09-13 04:22 pm (UTC)I got this used on Ebay for about half price. Now they are about $100 or so; there were a number of people selling them because they never really used it or they got a newer toy. I would suggest identifying what you'd like to have and then keep an eye out for a good conditioned used one.
The LifeDrive is perfect for me so I'm very happy to have it back.
