What's on your Christmas list?

So what do you buy a Palm TX owning techno nerd like me for Christmas? I’m always being told that I’m incredibly difficult to buy for and I know that’s partly (mainly) due to my impatience and tendency to go our and buy the stuff I want as soon as I can afford it.

On thing I know I you shouldn’t buy for any Palm owning friends is the incredibly rubbish Palm Cradle. I’ve not changed my option since I reviewed it. It’s still a waste of landfill.

I’ve been thinking about a keyboard for my Palm TX but I find myself wondering if I’ll actually use it. I used to have a keyboard for my “old failthful” Palm III but rarely used it – mainly because it’s flimsy nature meant you could only use it on a flat stable surface and it would also help you eat batteries.

The whole point of a PDA is portable computing, but every gadget/add-on etc. decreases it’s portability. I’m now finding that since I reinstalled the original version of Graffiti on my TX I can quite happily scribble away on my TX. If I’d been stuck with the horrible Graffiti 2 then a keyboard would have been a no-brainer, it would have been absolutely essential.

The current favourite idea is to go with a new camera. I’ve always enjoyed taking pictures and my old Olympus is getting a little long in the tooth (it’s only 2 megapixel). This suggestion got me thinking (again). Maybe it would be worth looking for a camera that’ll be suitable for the odd bit of astrophotography… Now I’m looking at a Canon EOS 400D and I’ve got a feeling that this could be an expensive hobby to get into.

With the biggest on-line shopping period ever being predicted we’ll all have to suffer the nightmare of home deliveries. We’ve already experienced the same kind of problems as I discussed in my article about the problems we’ve encountered with Citylink
