Death to Palm OS! (oh, and .. .Christmas, Part 2)
So at this point I'm just about ready to flush my PDA (a Tungsten T3) down the toilet. We just got back from our trip to Indiana, and picked up our dog from the vet. We've always had the vet give him shots for heartworm prevention. Well, apparently they don't give the shots any more, and we have to start giving him medicine once a month.
Well, gee, that seems like a situation where it might be useful to have one of them there watcha-call-em Pee Dee Ays. So, I'm trying to set up a monthly reminder to give our dog his heartworm medication, starting next month on the 22nd. When I try to create the reminder, in the same way I've always done before, the stupid thing MOCKS ME by saying (in a most user-friendly way):
Fatal Alert
DateDay.c, Line: 1666, Record not on day
It also puts a nice big "RESET" button in the middle of the screen, and I can't do anything but hit thatbutton to "reset" the PDA. And then if I try again to create the reminder, it does the same stupid thing.
ARHRHRHRHRHRHRHGGHGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE COMPUTERS!!!!!
One of those Dell Axim's is sounding better and better all the time.
But on a lighter note, "Christmas is over, fool!". This is a new quotable quote which I originated just today. Donna found it quite amusing, so in the spirit of the season, I hereby donate this new phrase to the public domain.
We just got back from Indiana where we had a nice visit with Donna's family. Here are the pictures from our trip. Some of them I took with our camera and some were taken with Donna's parents'.
We headed for Indiana last Wednesday night just as the big snow storm started. We ended up stopping part way and staying in a hotel until the storm had pretty much passed through. We were glad we did. Once we eventually did continue north, we started seeing snow once we hit northern Tennessee, and by the time we hit Kentucky we started seeing all kinds of cars off the road. A bunch of them were nearly buried in the snow as a result of the snowplows that had come through afterward.
When we got to Indiana the temperature was in the low single digits. Let's just say we spent most of our time indoors. As much as we miss our family and friends in the great white north, we are glad to be back in Georgia, where it is supposed to be 50 tomorrow, and in the mid 60s by the end of the week! Even so, I'm still not quite sure we've moved far enough south.

So how did you solve the problem, anyway??? I own a T5, and got the same troubles.
I bought a Dell Axim x50v. No, really, I did! Of course, I've found that it has its own annoyances. Such is technology.
But, I also found that the problem went away on the T3 after a hard reset. My wife's using it now with no problems.
