To go along with my new PowerBook G4 and its bluetooth technology, I purchased the Palm Tungsten™ T3. Tons of good and bad reviews on it. Major problem is the battery but my current Palm's battery is practically dead always now. I'll let you know how it is, when I get it.

Today our Sunbeam water cooler sprung a leak.
I have water all over that room and its a big mess.
I am calling a dozen 800#s to get it replaced and clean up the mess, I am still on hold now. So I thought I blog about it.
