Latest Executive Craze: Palm Pilot Implants

Posted By: Frank Thomas Friday, July 21, 2000 8:51:27 AM

No one thought that last year's craze of inter-aural cellphone implants and inter-cranial pagers could be topped, but they were wrong. This year, the cutting edge executive is surgically implanting her Palm Pilot directly onto her hand. Just a few skin grafts and four screws, and the useless left hand now becomes a highly efficient PDA holder.

The Palm Pilot Implant surgery was developed jointly by Palm, Inc. and Johns Hopkins Medical Center after extensive market research by Palm revealed a strong demand. Read more...

I'd get one, but I'm afraid it might leak.

I like mine...

It's amazing how I never have to charge the battery - since all the power I need is in my body. This is great - a Palm that would last forever, although it is a bit painful to get it upgraded - I don't mind much. I don't know what I would do without it!

I'm all for silliness, but even *on* April 1, fake "news releases" are inappropriate by the media. This is how goofy rumours about the tech industry get started. You're *journalists,* not high-school kids. Please don't try to pass off parody or satire as news.

Stupid.
