How so?  I do feel that he should have taken his personal information with
him.  I rarely leave mine in the car.  I could have been the one time he was
running late and simply left it there not expecting anything to happen to in
in a mall with thousands of cars around it.

Fine idea- but I know no one that has a PalmPilot laying around.  That seems
like more of an idealistic thought then mine.  And yes, they ARE
upgradeable.  I know.  I sold them for 3 or 4 years and I own one that is
upgradeable.

Yes, sending dan the $$ would benefit us all.  But the other thing that I
did not mention is that Todd had everything stolen out of his car (no
private info this time) just last May.  While asleep in a good neighborhood
punks broke in took everything from his car.  So, he had just finished
replacing what the took and the did it again...


As for your divorce, why would we help you out?  That is a personal matter
involving two people who chose each other and could not reconcile their
differences.  Todd did not have any choice in this matter.
