# Inspiration
### 20180923

So, while I am waiting for isorespin.sh to remix a Linux Mint 18.3
ISO for the Windows 10 Atom 2-in-1 (a cheap surface clone from 
WalMart), I have been reading [jirka's blog](https://jirkasnotes.wordpress.com).
It has inspired me to dig through my closet to look for Palm OS 
devices. I have a Livedrive (hate it), a Zire (hate it), and a 
Handspring Visor (actually quite fond of this one). It has PalmOS
3.1H2 installed on it. I cannot locate the cable for it, so I 
visited ebay and found one for $8 including shipping. I have a use
for a non-internet connected device and there are still apps online
to install on this thing. I am planning on buying some Visor modules
for it, but only if I consistently use it... we'll see. 

I used to write apps in TinyC right on this device and I still have 
a copy of this app, the resource editor, and the on Palm editor on
my lifedrive. The lifedrive has nonvolitile storage (of course, it 
has an actual spinning hardisk!), so unlike the contents of the Visor
which are lost, the lifedrive lives on. Expected delivery of the 
cable is 20181001 so we shall see.

The isorespin is complete and I am about to dd it to a USB drive...
wish me luck!
