Ah, you have a quaderno too? I have one (20Mb).
Unfortunately month after month every part of it broke down. First the AC
adapter, then the batteries, then the hard disk controller. I kept on playing
games with Tiger against human players at my chess club, but I had to boot with
a floppy.
Then some of the keys stopped working. I could go on playing by using some Ctrl-
keys (like Ctrl-M instead of the defective Enter). You can imagine the trouble
when you play blitz games! :)
At the end it would not even turn on.
So now it's sleeping, probably forever, in my office. I've been able to use it
for only two years, which is quite sad. I loved it, really.
Now the Palm IIIx is my favorite companion. Much better, I would say. And it has
a much faster processor.
