Inspired by the lonesome death of Palm OS I dusted off my old Palm V and found that I had thrown away my docking cable and accessories. Saddened, I took to the Internet only to find an excellent aggregation of actual accessories on Amazon and eBay. A few clicks later and I am now the proud owner of a Targus Essentials Kit for Palm V, one of the best handhelds in the business.

Like most old technology, I’m having a heck of a time syncing this thing right now but a few more tries and I should get it. It’s quite a bit of fun just firing this monster up and even if I can’t get it to work it’s nice to see how far we’ve come in a few short years.

What gadgetry have you resurrected recently?
