At long last, I have a PDA again!

I stopped at Best Buy today -- something I haven't done in months, and it's been years since I went there on payday evening. I've been looking at various PDAs, and had been thinking about buying a refurbished Clié SJ20 for $109.

Well, when I saw one for $89, of course I bought it. At first I thought I'd found a mislabeled color SJ22, but this is a bargain as it is. Finally I can have something that reminds me of things I gotta do, even when I'm not online. And it even comes with a flip-top cover to protect it! Not that I won't get a RhinoSkin case for it, of course, but it's nice to have in the meantime.

Whee!

Oh, and there were little black fish, about 5-8 inches long, all over the parking lot. Apparently a retention pond overflowed during lots of rain. They seemed to be doing OK, though; they were flopping purposefully towards anything that looked like water. I think they were catfish (or mudskippers?).

How big is that thing. The small screen "border" makes the screen look large, and the handheld itself look small. Unfortunately, that link is kinda skimpy on actual specs, so now I'm asking you.

It's the same basic size as any other PDA would be. The screen has good lighting and a recharging battery (it came with a harness that takes a mini-USB cable and a teeny power cable, attached to a laptop power brick, and plugs the assembly into the bottom; a $50 cradle makes this somewhat neater or easier).

The screen resolution is 320x320, grayscale. Other models are usually 320x320 color, and the newest PalmOS 5 models are 320x480 color.

To bad I didn't know you were looking. You have had my Handspring Visor with EB case (much better than RhinoSkin in my opinion)that is sitting around doing nothing.

Oof. Well, you don't happen to have any MemorySticks sitting around doing nothing, do you?

Palm memory cards? No
