So back in early February I lost my old Palm m105, Gregorovius, and bought myself a newer, keener m125 off eBay, which I named Gregorovius II: The Wrath of Khan. Unfortunately, Greggy Jr. seems to be having some problems recently, after I replaced the batteries for the first time. The problem is that, in technical terms, it's a piece of goddamned shitty fucking ass bitch hell crap.
Every time I do a HotSync now, as I must in order to reload my address book and so forth, the digitiser gets completely fucked up: when I touch the screen with the stylus, it registers a touch on a completely different part of the screen. In particular, the offset is so great that I can't actually access any of the menus I need to get to in order to recalibrate the fucking ass crap whore. I Googled the problem and found out other people have experienced the same damnable thing from their own m125's...And none of their fixes work for me. I downloaded a utility that's supposed to automatically run a recalibration every time I soft-reset, but for some reason it refuses to run. I can hard-reset the thing and erase all the stored data and get it working again...I think my problem may be AvantGo; I've created a new user profile, imported the addresses and dates without installing any programs whatsoever, and it seems to continue functioning normally...We'll see how long this lasts.
I have one idea on how to fix this. That is to take a hammer and smash the machine into thousands of tiny, tiny pieces of silicon and plastic and glittering wire. Stupid ass-bitching heap of Twentieth Century Christballs.
The fury courses through my veins!
