Found my old Palm Pilot at my parents' house - still had battery life somehow

Was cleaning out the garage last Saturday and dug up my Palm Vx from 2001. It still synced with my old laptop and had notes from a college physics class. Anyone else ever boot up an old PDA and find something weird saved on it?

Old tech always holds stuff we forgot mattered back then.

Found a box of old VHS tapes at an estate sale and one was just a kid's birthday party from 1994.

You ever mess around with a VCR that still had a tape in it from like 1998? I found one at a garage sale last summer and popped it in, it was just some random news segment about a local fair that got cancelled because of a flood. Had a whole interview with the mayor and everything, people showing up with umbrellas trying to save the cotton candy machine. Made me realize how much stuff just gets buried in those old formats that nobody bothers to look at anymore.
