I havent used my Palm pilot in a few weeks and decided that I needed to enter in some information into it. WHen I turned it on, it told me that it had a low battery. Great, so I go to get some batteries out of my cabinet. I grab the batteries, pull out two and then took the batteries out of my palm pilot, just like I have done plenty of times before. Unfortunately, I dropped one of the batteries and I by the time I inserted it back into the palm pilot I lost all my information.

I was thinking that it was no big deal since I have hot synced my palm pilot lots of times. I switch over to my old OS and look for the files.....not there. Crap, it must have been on my laptop. So I check the files that were transferred from my laptop. Once again, not there. I have since gone through 14 or 15 backup discs and I just cant find it anywhere. So now, I realize that I dont have a back up of the information anywhere. I think I have most of the information backed up in hard copies somewhere, but in all truthfulness, I probably dont. This just sucks arse. :bawl:

man, that sucks.

i've never figured out why palm doesn't use a backup battery of some sort. i mean, my cell phone goes dead but it doesn't forget everything it knows....

The stupid thing is that I thought it did have a lithium battery backup. I guess I was thinking of some other piece of electronics that I have laying around.
