Ok so sometimes I’m a sucker for older tech :) In this case I love my m500 - which is black and white and not as fancy as any palm pilot made since (Considering they don’t even make this palm any more it’s not that suprising) But it does get me to the right place at the right time and I only have to remember to charge it every couple of weeks.

I’ve wanted a keyboard for it forever - but they usually cost more than I paid for the palm in the first place! Plus Richard advised me against getting one because they are a pain to use he said :(

I ended up finding one online for $10. It seemed like an easy choice - I want one - and I don’t have to use it that much to justify $10. Plus I’m headed to DEFCON at the end of the month and I have a policy of not turning on my laptop in that place - so at least now I can actually take real notes (Assuming that I can stablize the keyboard in my lap). If it doesn’t work out I figure I can get rid of it for what I paid :)
One odd thing - if you look closely you’ll notice that I apparently got the Japanese version of the keyboard so there is a yen key where I would expect the backspace to be - it’s going to take a little bit to get used to but I’m up for the challenge

Here’s a close up where you can see the sticker I had to put on for english.
