[The ultimate Swag, thanks to geocaching]

I recently posted a note about "Whats up with paperless caching" , and I was convinced that this is the way to go. So trying to save a little I went on freecycle.com and asked people in my area that I was looking for a palm pilot or p.d.a. of any brand even if ancient. I got a responce withen 3 days a lady said she has had one a while back that she found in the back of a cab, that she never knew if it worked, but she would drop it off if I was interested. She did and I had no idea when it was in a brown envelope what it would be. Could of been from 1980s. When I opened it up to my surprise it was a sprint treo 700wx palm!!!! I went down to the sprint store and got a charger for it and it came right up. I told myself that if the last calls were made withen 3 or 4 months, even though I paid 20 dollars for a charger and a uploading/downloading cord, I would try to contact the owner and get it back to him or her. Once it was fully charged, I looked at the last calls maid and they were over 1 year ago!!!!! From what I could tell the phone had no major buisness information that was important in it or media files and it looked like a company issued phone so I guess thats it. Sence the lady that gave it to me CLEARLY stated that she even ran an add in a local paper about the phone being gone, I feel my concence is releaved. I think im convenced im going to keep the Palm and reformat it, but what do you think just to doulble check, what would you do?

 

Hi mr b,

i think after a year, the original owner has pretty much written it off, specially when they are almost obsolete by then , congrats on your new Palm
