I prefer to just not risk any further loss of data, and may just give them to small children to play with.Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12599474495160784711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142128029967631081.post-31139458668893121522013-09-10T02:24:35.163-07:002013-09-10T02:24:35.163-07:00Also an option, thanks.Also an option, thanks.Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12599474495160784711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142128029967631081.post-9516320112612810652013-09-09T06:44:27.003-07:002013-09-09T06:44:27.003-07:00I tried an AlphaSmart and it was lovely until the ...I tried an AlphaSmart and it was lovely until the day I took it outside. It was a bright sunny day, but something in the air scared it, I guess, and forever after that it only showed gibberish.

I know for a fact that you can take the batteries out of that one without losing data, because it automatically saves everything as you type it. But I don't care to risk anymore heartbreak, and I'm just putting all my toys away for good.Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12599474495160784711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142128029967631081.post-55880935202921012112013-09-07T20:31:44.824-07:002013-09-07T20:31:44.824-07:00Oh, I've been there.
