One day shy of [exactly a year after it arrived](/archives/000046.html), my [Hanspring Visor](http://www.handspring.com/ "Welcome to Handspring.com") has given up the ghost. I don't know what the problem is exactly, but I suspect the built-in rechargable battery developed a short in its connection with the unit, and now it doesn't work at all. The warrenty was only for 90 days, and the repair cost will be just a few dollars shy of buying a new one. So I guess I'll need to hunt around on ebay for a cheap replacement. I've grown far too attached to the thing to just not use it anymore.
