# Delays with the UX50
### 20181031

I returned to Wyoming today and unboxed my Clie PEG-UX50. I also 
bought the extended battery for it. The built-in battery seems DOA.
This unit was new in box, never opened, so that battery sat 
uncharged in that box for 15 years. I should have ordered a 
replacement battery at the same time as the PDA, but I didn't. I have
one on order now. I will let it charge over night and see if I can 
get some sort of charge on it. It will boot while on the charger 
long enough to do a screen calibration but then it winks out.

If the battery I just ordered does not arrive before I go back to 
North Dakota next Tuesday, then installation won't happen until week
after next. <sad-trombone.mpeg>

I also unboxed my gotype keyboard for my Palm IIIxe. I had to 
configure the driver as my IIIxe doesn't have memo installed, and I 
also wanted to tweak the button assignments a bit. It works 
flawlessly, and with keyboard hack, super useful.
