For some reason, it just started working again Sunday afternoon.

No.  Not much good available in them, either here -- either big bricks or the 
Treo 700w.

I was thinking of going back to using two separate devices.  I like the 
Motorola V3s.  I want my phone to be a phone in form factor.  If you can fit 
a Palm into it great.  If not, I'll take a separate Palm device.

Anyway, not a worry for now.

Perhaps separate "resources" but that wouldn't be the case anyway as I would 
be switching rather than using both.

My cat IS going bald!  ... but I think it is because it has found a place in 
the basement where it can crawl in the walls and keeps scraping his head on a 
nail or an errant piece of plaster.  Fortunately, this cannot be blamed on 
kpilot.

That was the plan.

OK.  Thanks.
