[ Palm Day cometh
When the clock strikes midnight on December 31st 2031, Palm clocks will stop.
From what I could gather, digging around on the WWW, Palm OS was not programmed
to go past that date. All is not lost, because the devices themselves will
continue to work.
In my digging around on the WWW, I found this:
https://garyc.me/calendars/
"You can recycle your old calendars by using them again!"
On that page we see the year 2032 will have the same layout as 2004. So, come
2032, I shall turn the calendar on my Palm device back to 2004 and continue on
my merry way. That is, if no one has come up with a patch by then.
Yes, I am aware of "Naive PalmDay Mitigation":

However I have not tried it yet.
A saying I saw on the Newton Talk mailing list many years ago comes to mine:
"Would the last person to leave the platform please turn off the backlight?"
