     Well, I was able to revive my Zoomer.

     It turns out that I had a weekly appointment on Monday at 1.  Sure enough,
at 12:45, the reminder popped up.  When I tapped OK, though, it didn't go
away!

     After tapping around, I discovered that the pen calibration was way off,
shifted down about a half inch.  So, when I was tapping on the hard icons,
the Zoomer thought I was tapping in the regular screen.

     By jamming the stylus against the bottom edge of the screen, I was
able to hit the very last row of contacts on the membrane and bring up
the preferences calibration window.  After recalibrating, everything was
happy again.

     Lessons learned:  always back up your data, and the Zoomer needs some
way to recalibrate a *badly* miscalibrated pen!
