Thanks a lot, Ken. You are probably right and it was just a technical/work overload thing.
I am going to try your idea of the "Attention Jeff" post and will then, maybe, be able to join the Shadow Plan community. I really like the Palm OS and even just bought a new Centro after my Zire 72 gave up. So SP will be most valuable for me, even if I know that I am investing in a moribund system.

And, in addition, he's, well ... "a bit too honest for his own good", if you know what I mean. He's very reticent to sell something he knows is "end of life". Unless you convince him you know what you're getting into (and after all is only a few dollars we're talking about).

Question is if it is still possible in the first place, i.e. if I would ever get my serial code after paying.
