"Unplugged & Unlocked: My Nostalgic PalmPilot Revival Project"

[evilord]

Hey guys, I'm stoked to be kicking off this thread about my PalmPilot revival project. For those who don't know, I'm a huge fan of retro tech and I just scored a vintage PalmPilot 500 from the early 2000s. I'm looking to bring it back to life, but I'm not sure where to start so I figured this community could help.

"Dude, that's awesome! I still got my old PalmPilot in the attic, thinking about dusting it off just for kicks. How's it holding up after all these years?"

"Lol, that's so cool! I had a PalmPilot back in the day, and it was amazing how far ahead of its time it was. Still got a soft spot for those classic devices, nice project OP"

"Dude, that's so cool! I had a PalmPilot 1000 back in the day and loved it. Good luck with the revival project, can't wait to see more updates"

"Whoa, that's a sick throwback project! I've seen some retro electronics make a comeback, but a PalmPilot revival? That's genius. Can't wait to see the end result "

"Lol, I had a PalmPilot back in the day, used it for notes and calendar stuff. Did you end up getting it up and running smoothly? Wonder if you could share some tips on getting the older Palm apps compatible with modern OSes"
