A Blast from the Past

As I was looking around for images to use in my PalmAddict posts, I came across this old photograph of me holding one of my first Palm devices, a US Robotics PalmPilot Personal with a PalmIII upgrade card. I couldn't wait until I could come up with a better reason to use the picture, so here it is. Thought you all might get a kick out of it.

I remember very well the Christmas day I opened the gift from my wife and found this inside. Naturally, I had dropped a few hints, but I don't think I stopped grinning for hours. I kinda miss that old green and grey color scheme. I even replicated it on a webpage I maintain that keeps track of all the Palm devices that I have owned and what I have put on them for software. I've really got to update the page now that I have upgraded my Treo to a 680 but it is interesting that even way back when I started the page I was marveling at how much one could put on a single handheld device. In fact, that was the reason I started that chronicle in the first place, "painstakingly coded in Web 0.9." And now, I continue the evangelism through my posts here at Palm Addict.
