Tungsten Troubles
Ugh.. Had the weekend from hell... All started when my Palm Tungsten E fell to the floor, hitting my chair and breaking the screen. So next day I go to The Source (Circuit City), and I buy the Palm Tungsten E2... Get it home only to find it's missing the power cord. I really hate shopping there, but it's the only electronics place that is close by.... So back I go, get it exchanged... Take that home, and get it working... Then I try to pop in my 2gb sd card, only to find out it's not accessible in the E2... In attempts to try and get the 2gb sd card accessible, I made the card completely inaccessible for anything that reads sd cards... Turns out the Palm Tungsten E2 can only access cards up to 1gb in size... How does that make sense??? The predecessor, The Tungsten E could read a 2gb card just fine, yet the successor can't... great marketting job Palm.... Come out with a new version of something that can't do the job that older models can.... I can not comprehend, or atleast agree with, that logic, at all.

Purolator Suckage
I don't know what it is, but delivery service companies are being really crappy lately... I ordered a 2 for one SD card Web special, which the company uses Purolator to ship out... I check the status on their website, so I know when I have to be home to expect delivery... I wait all day, and they never come... Check on the site, and it says they tried twice with no answer from the recipient (me).... Was home all day, they never came, and then lied about coming.... So I had to go out of my way to pick up the parcel at their warehouse, which is not on any bus route, making it extremely difficult to get to for someone without a car... I was definitley not impressed.... Is there a decent, reputable shipping company out there any more??
