OK, I'm about to confess to something embarrassing yet entirely understandable... About two years ago, while attending the first service in the new building for Central Chinese Baptist Church, I managed to score a special prize. I can't remember how I qualified for it, but was given a wrapped gift. I unwrapped it to reveal a pristine container marked "hot-sync cradle for Palm ..." Not having a palm pilot at the time, I put it to one side, even considering who I might give it to.
That was two years ago (or more!)
In the last week a dear friend who upgraded their own palm passed on their old one. After fiddling for a while, my memory was jogged in relation to this lovely box - still unopened - sitting in a cupboard. I retrieved the box and opened it up, only to find something which might be useful for doing a hot-sync with one's palm pilot, but not in the direct manner. It contained a glass coffee mug! A good cup of coffee might be helpful during the process (although it does not take that long), but it won't make it happen.
Never judge a book by its cover. Or a gift by its box.
OK, you can stop laughing....
