My PDA crashed

Gack, I am soo careful never to let it run down, I learned early on that I loose everything. I fully charged it one day, the next day it was dead. Maybe the battery is gone after 2 years? When we had to wipe the computer at home about 6 months ago, I lost the ability to back it up. So after assessing the situation I found that most of the things I needed were recoverable but that what I am most mad about is my cross stitch Wishlist. When I found something on the boards or in a blog I diligently wrote it into my PDA. A lot of them were OOP charts. I tried brainstorming last night and could only come up with about 6, I know I had about 25 listed. damn.
