MORE ROUGH LIFE...

A month ago, I awoke to find that our six month old golden retriever puppy had knocked my Palmtop off the table, and had spent the night, alternately throwing it around the room and chewing on it for extended periods of time. The case was a mass of sharp puppy teeth-marks. Fearing the worst, I opened the Palmtop and turned it on. Wonder of wonders! It was still working perfectly in spite of its battered condition. The Flash RAM card was intact albeit a trifle warped looking. The most damage was to the serial port adjacent to the backup battery. I did have a little trouble inserting a serial cable for the first time after it was damaged, but even that is no longer a problem. The only negative is that if I want the case replaced, I will have to pay the minimum service charge of $295 to send it in to HP.

So please add "Puppy-proof" to the growing list of the 200LX's qualities.
