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?).

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.
