The ying and the yang, the good and the bad...

Last week I mentioned that I had suffered the misfortune of being saddled with a dead Treo. Not sure what happened to it, but it just wouldn't take a charge. No way, no how. So I crossed my fingers, took a deep breath and contacted Handspring tech support. Not only was I able to RMA it online, but they gave me the option to pay $25 USD to have a new one shipped to me before I returned the malfunctioning one. Placing my faith in the system and the power of VISA, I plonked down my dough, filled out an online form and waited.

Until Friday morning when my brand new Treo 90 showed up in the mail. Nice. They also included instructions, shipping information and a pre-paid carton to return the old unit for repair. I shipped the unit back that same day...hopefully they find a good use for it - I get to keep the new one! Great deal folks - I am definitely a happy camper.

On the downside, my wallet went missing sometime over the weekend - stolen, lost - don't know. I do know that I will *never* go through this again. I'm going to buy one of those wallets that attaches to my belt via a titanium link chain - or something... On the upside, I was able to scrounge together a few hours this afternoon to hit the bank and the MTO to get my new bank card and replacement drivers license. I'll worry about everything else when I get a few minutes. I've got the bare essentials, I just hope I don't need my health card anytime soon...
