My Axim’s backup battery seems to be bad. I’ve left the Axim charging since I got into the office this morning and the battery stayed at 30%.

Just taking at look at my site gave me these people who have added me and who I had never read before: http://www.e-dennis.net http://www.mylickleworld.co.uk/blog.php http://nullified.kevinsblog.com http://www.rmcrob.com http://www.leepotts.com/blog.html http://www.excessbloggage.com/bloggyblog/links.html http://www.quality.nu/lisa…
