plonqI took my PDA with me when I went to the mall for lunch today. I took it along to read the news that I'd downloaded to it this morning, but I decided on a whim to try out its remote Livejournal client while I was there. I didn't say much since it was primarily a proof of concept post.
That post may or may not appear here, before or after this post. The truth is, my PDA reports that it sent the post off to... somewhere, and it didn't get any errors back in the process. Something at the other end of the connection was happy with the journal entry. The only question remaining for me is, where did my post go from there?
If it never shows, I'm all for blaming ActiveSync (which may be the subject of a future angry rant).

Often the parts were unavailable and he had to wait for them to come from the US. Typical repair time for a Macintoy: 1 week IF the parts were available. If not, 2 weeks to 1 month.
Of course, I was just the dumb DOSbox techy who could hack Win3.1/3.11/95/98/ME/2K/NT/XP into shape. So what would I know about Macintoys.
