Comment Re:dropped it in water (Score 1) 422

by sunilhari (#31294120) Attached to: What Has Your Phone Survived?
I was playing golf and my Nokia 6680 flew out of the cart somewhere along the course. Overnight, there was a thunderstorm, and so I wrote it off. I got a call from a guy the next day saying that he found my phone! Apparently, it wasn't working when he found it in a two-inch puddle on the fairway, so he dumped out the water, dried it off with a golf towel, and it powered right up.

Only damage happened when I took apart the screen to hair-dry the water out of it.

SF:catcalls writes: FPS has reached over one hundred downloads over the past month here at Source Forge. We, the creators of FPS, are delighted to see such promising results from listing FPS as a project. The download rates can only get better with each minor or major update - and there WILL be updates for FPS. Currently APO Networks are working on Audit software for XP / Vista and FPS has taken a back shelf ride. APO Networks are also working on a customer relations software package which also ties up any free time for FPS development. BUT! When we have the time we have many more ideas for FPS in the near future. Download v2.4 today for FREE and FUN and FUNCTIONAL.

Here are the first couple of pages. Proper z80 "machine code"!
