# On a pattern of delay
### 20181119

So, today my Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000 arrived from Russia. In
the box was the handheld, and a sealed package with a USB
charging cable. I unwrapped and opened everything in
anticipation of awesome, only to be greeted by the same
occurance as with the Sony Clie PEG-UX50. Namely, a dead
battery and a nonbooting device due to that dead battery.
The good news is that the same manufacturer of battery
that saved the day for the Clie, had what I needed to
revive the Z. The new batt arrives on Friday.

What gets me about these early naughties devices is the
tiny capacities. 800mAH for the UX50, 2000mAH for the Z.
my ecig has 3x3000mAH. It illustrates why vaping would
not have worked 15 years ago. :^)
