Default Power surges and modern electronics.

When the iPhone arrived, I couldn't believe how many iPaq
and Palm PDA's I saw at the recycler. It's not like the old
stuff is no longer functional or usable. It's just not fashionable
any more.


I still have my Palm Tungsten T3 and iRiver H120. Not cheap, but they're
both "a-workin still" after seven years. (Not even a battery replacement.)
