So while snaking through the security line on the way home from Miami, my knapsack/laptop case got dropped on the floor somewhat hard. Once I'd booted my laptop and discovered that the laptop was OK I promptly forgot all about the incident. I also forgot that my Tungsten C was in the bag and was not as padded as the laptop.
I powered the T|C up today and discovered this:
Fortunately the T|C can still sync, so if I choose to pay $125 and go without my TC for about 2 weeks I can once again have a functioning T|C. Right now I'm not convinced it's worth it.
However, I'm a bit annoyed by the news that, as rumored, Palm is indeed going to be making a Windows Mobile version of the Treo, and that's affecting my judgement.

Not long ago I replaced the digitizer on my Palm. I got the screen at gethightec.com for about fifty bucks. (This would have been a Palm III, and now that I think on it a little more it was about 2 years ago).
They have screens for the Tungsten C for about $65.
They send the digitizer and you do the replacement yourself. The full link is:

On another note, Palm will tell you their units have to go back to them for battery replacement. With a little care you can DIY for about 1/3 the cost.
