I ran my PDA down to 20% battery before I turned it off. Now it won't turn on. It'll be 90 minutes before I can get home to plug it in. The backup battery is only designed to last 30 minutes. I hope everything will still be there when I get home.

I really need to buy another charger for this thing.

Relief.

I got home and plugged in my PDA, and nervously pressed the power button. It booted up, and displayed the owner information, then asked for my password.

*HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF*

I checked the power meter, and it read 0%. The backup battery was still reading normal, so I had at least 30 minutes of reserve power left, but it was still a pretty close call.

I need to decide between buying an extended battery, would would give me double the battery life (over 180 minutes of constant wireless usage), but make the PDA heavier and a 1/2 inch thicker, or to buy a 3-in-one power adaptor, which would let me recharge the PDA anywhere, IF I actually had the cable with me. They'll cost about the same.

Should I pay the minimum, or pay in full....

Got the insurance bill. I can pay the minimum due, $178.75, or I can pay it in full, $178.76. I wonder what would happen if I only paid the minimum....
