Betsy, I don't have a Palm wireless keyboard, but I do have a Compaq IPaq wireless keyboard, and I love it. I've found it very useful. As a matter of fact, it needs new batteries right now, and it's driving me nuts that I don't have it to use.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
If it's the same keyboard I have, I enjoy it. Take it with me and use it to write on planes.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
He's gonna look up the model #, so we can see if it will actually work for your purpose.
Post it here, and I'll tell y'all if it'll work.

Betsy,
I have the wireless keyboard. It came with my Palm Tungsten T (or C), I can't remember which one I have. I have a keyboard on my palm too!
I have used it a couple of times and I like it, though the palm almost sits off the keyboard because of where the infrared arm is.
The keyboard is comfortable to type on and has power keys for palm functions. I think you can program it as well, but I'm not 100% sure about that. The manual is clear and easy to follow.
If you have any other questions, I can take it out tonight and answer anything.
I am getting $50 back from Palm for the Trade it In promotion and I'm buying an extended warranty for it.

If I only had a brain...
Huh. I didn't think of that option. (The warranty).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wouldn't this be cool? In theory, anyway. I do depend on tactile feedback.
I've discovered why I'm crap at Graffiti -- my handwriting, although potentially quite legible is sloppy. I often have to go back and insert letters in. It's a problem I don't have when typing, nowhere near as much, anyway. In cursive, the illiterate part of my brain often goes for the smooth transition.

Dayamn. Coolest toy ever.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Daniel, do you still need the DSL "modem"? We've got three, so my boss is willing to give me one for free. He's gonna look up the model #, so we can see if it will actually work for your purpose....
That would be cool. I pretty much want a DSL modem in hand before sign up with qwest.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That is an awesome toy. I would totally use that, because I don't need tactile feedback, I think, and sometimes I feel slowed down by the bounce of the keys. The only thing for me would be positioning, because I don't ever look at the keyboard. The tactile feedback that I do depend on is the little bump that tells me F & J.

I'm getting the pig!
Question posted on SailAWeigh's behalf -
"None of my webpages will load. I keep getting 'The page cannot be displayed' on every sinlge website I try to go to. I get my Yahoo buttons at the top of the browser. And I can IM, but I can't get into any other website at all. I think Yahoo is fucking me up somehow, but I don't know how!"
Any ideas?
ETA: Nevermind. Sail and I are both going to bed (not together, gutter minds) and she's calling a pc dr. in the morning.
