My old Palm Pilot needed a new battery and it took me a whole weekend to find one that fit
I found my old Palm IIIxe in a box and wanted to see if it still worked, but the battery was totally dead. I looked online and tried three different stores before finding a weird off-brand replacement that actually fit right. Has anyone else had to hunt down parts for really old handhelds like this?

It's just a battery, not some lost treasure. People get way too into the drama of finding old parts. Maybe it's just me but spending a whole weekend on that seems like a lot. It's a gadget that's been dead for twenty years. The hunt sounds more frustrating than fun, honestly.

Finding parts for old tech is a whole scavenger hunt now. It feels like you're digging through digital archaeology just to get something to turn on. The hunt is half the fun, though.
