End of an Era – No more Palm

My wife’s Palm Tungsten E died the other day. So we looked online to see what was out there – not much! Palm has stopped making PDA’s and has put all their eggs in one basket, the Pre smart-phone. Other manufacturers have done the same. Everyone is moving to smart-phones. Now, you can still buy some refurbished or used Palm’s, but the prices are high, there is no support – they are dinosaurs!

We did check with our cell phone service, Verizon Wireless, to see what they had. We were pretty disappointed. The keys were small (our old fingers just are not that agile!), no writing on screens, and the contract for the phone would up our bill 30 dollars a month!

So, we are going old school- back to the future with paper (Day-Timer). Maybe when the phones get a little bit better, and the contracts come down in price we will make that leap to the 21st century. Until then, we will stay outdated.
