To Whom: The dreaded 3 volt cords went south several years ago, and I couldn't fix it. I liked the little critter, so got a flash card and used the 9 volt input with a Radio Shack DC converter, and things were great for homework, and what a nice data container. Got an Idea. Why not get an input plug from Radio Shack, with some 9 volt radio battery plugs, some Velcro from the hardware, and some 9 volt batteries from Walgreens, put it all together, and voila! Once again a portable palm PC. Just store the info on the flash, and disconnect the battery when not in use, and use the DC Converter for long periods of use at home. I have no idea how long the battery will last, but it's better than nothing, and it works fine!
