Hey Steve, there's an article about your infamous incident on slashdot I can't believe it's been 10 years. I guess the 10 yr anaversary of the Craig Neidorf case and the DC 2600 mtg will be coming up soon too. Hmm, last I remember Craig moved to the (...)

(...) The color one has a built-in lithium rechargable, like the palm V, so it's less of an issue. They claim about two weeks of use. Further investigation shows that that's assuming 40 minutes a days, so that translates to 9-10 hours of continuous (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Yeah, not being upgradable sucks. I'm using less than a meg, but I have yet to start trying out much of anything other than the built-in apps. Even if I never use more than 1.5mb, though, I'll feel better knowing I have 4mb instead of 2mb. And (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) The IIIe is also not flash upgradable. Not a death-knell type flaw, but it does shorten the lifespan. That's more important than the RAM, I think. Mike, how much of your 4MB are you using? I've got a IIIx too, and I barely have more than 1MB (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I have a IIIx. I bought it mainly because I wanted more RAM (4 megs) instead of less with a cool case - the V. Haven't kept up with the specs on the other models - I assume the IIIe has 2mb?
