What people are waiting for the New Year? Holiday gifts and, of course, surprises. But ... For the majority of buyers and sellers trade complex "GEM" that Rogozhskoy Zastava day on Dec. 22, 2000 brought only a sad event.

In my shop the day the goods and the buyers were few, only occasional visitors and children. Time dragged on, the ventilation in the levels of Half Life, too, and then suddenly the lights went out. Cries, the smell of burning and the voices of colleagues from a neighboring company: "Run! Fire !!!". Well, the fire because the fire, knapsack on his back, close the door and onto the street. Like everyone else, I hoped that before my pavilion fire did not reach. But alas ... The next day I found a yawning security guards and icy "glands", which delved dejectedly our manager N. - What saved? - Why, - he said to me on the bag with shells, CD-drives and various small things. At this moment appeared VA - Second Engineer: - Come on, let's see where else what is! - Come on. After an hour of digging in the broken glass and water poluzamerzshey B. Chingachgook gave a cry: "Something's there!". That "something" turned out to be a solid pack of absolutely integral modems, Xircom PCMCIA-and - a miracle! - My dream of gold, handheld, Palm m100, even two. Appearance (see photo) spoke about one thing: "Save the ...". Okay. Save. B. Palm'a took both, and I dragged home miraculously survived a scanner and "smoked" internet card. The next day the phone rang: - Come, look, it seems, both alive. - Wow! One picks up, wait, coming soon. B. greedy and gave me a "broken" m100. After a half-war with the batteries I had finally turned. Truly - "the fire is not lit, the water does not sink." It really worked, moreover - in full, and the stylus all in one piece. Only here the temperature "parched" hardware buttons in the bottom of ... "I still do not need" - I decided and began to study the contents. No additional software or localization was not, and "fill" them, too, was impossible - the cable, apparently burned down, and connect it, too, was nowhere to go, he simply would not fit into the melted remnants of a communication terminal (and the contacts are safe!).

Finding, finally, "Savyolovsky" Infrared to my home machine and downloading the Palm Desktop, I started a "revival". First of all - crack. At this point in the Address Book has already been a fair amount of records, but the transliteration - not his aunt. Cyrhack (thanks to Tim Tashbulatovu) was the best option, since Paragon Software was asked of me too much, and did not want to pay. Remarkably, now is probably going to write lecture notes - and then in a backpack notebooks sometimes do not fit, and my handwriting is not so hot. By the way, PalmOS 3.5 "graffiti" has been brought almost to perfection, and the input speed (in my version) a little inferior to the keyboard, not to mention the usual journalistic notepad. In second place were toys and books, and even boring to ride just one day of Kuzminok in Altufevo where my alma mater, and then - on the Red Guards, where our shop was opened again. And this is where I waited for the big rake - for the majority of toys were the hardware buttons are needed, and page flipping is not convenient CspotRun stylus ... Removing the same half of the body for access to their contacts, is fraught with complete clearing of memory with all the addresses and installed applications, and daily HotSync via infrared (also working) is very annoying, even on 115200. Month and a half of friendship with the Palm, even with so - enough time to get to it very much used to it. And despite his "feat" (Maresyev palm world), the buttons still need ... But not everything is as simple as HotSync ...Several visits to the company, selling handheld, nicknames, not instilled optimism - in one, seeing my pet, the manager fell into a protracted swoon, and refused to help in another case was asked to replace $ 80 (self m100 is less than 200 ...), and on my timid requests for discounts (due to the uniqueness of the case) was advised to come back later, "when" pots "they will display to beat, and then the model is new, did not break until ...".

Only MakTsentr where I went, almost lost hope, I agreed to help. True, proposing the replacement of certain co-payment, and in the appendage - the opportunity to tell about the adventure. But I love all sorts of "glands", especially unusual, how, without a doubt, my copy of the m100. And because I'm in serious meditations - do not want to change the salvaged pet's coddled model from the official who pose no indentation to individual. A thought - maybe there is leather-maker to make cheholchik in contact with the buttons? .. And finally - as all the same surf the Net via IrDA ... I do not know .. I will look for a solution. How to find - share, the more that I am interested in only one way, the Russian - to use free software. The authors, translation:
