Have a question about a Palm IIIc

I found a Palm IIIC for 49.99 and it has the cradle and the flip cover. Is this a good buy. I found it on www.half.com So you can check it out if you want to. http://half.ebay.com/cat/buy/inv.cgi...3&domain_id=16



Thanks for all your time!

I'd pass and take myself out to a nice dinner.

What would you use it for? If you're just looking for a toy, it's probably as good of a buy as any. But technology changes so quickly, if anything goes wrong with it (besides the broken on/off switch) you'd be hard pressed to get it repaired.

Just my ever-so-humble opinion,

I wouldn't buy it neither - heard that battery life is terrible on that thing. If you want a really basic organizer, check out the Vx - it will do the BASIC stuff that the IIIc will do, without the color. You really acn't do much on a IIIc...

Personally, i rather spent some extra money on a bare minimum PDA with OS5, or a used pocket pc (e.g. ipaq 1940, 2010), they're under $200, and will at least be able to run the majority of current software.

Is this your main PDA? The best thing I have to say about it is the color screen.
