Doh. And I only got a cake for my birthday.

[Kati Compton]

I got a whole year added to my age for my birthday... :silly:

[DimensionZero]

LOL, yeah... I get that too. Seems to be some kind of side effect to the Birthday thing... Hopefully someone, someday will have a cure for that.

:wink:

My birthday was may21th and I got an Ipaq 1910 for my birthday from a Korean family I was staying over at in New Jersey.
Had to decide between that and a Zire71.
Have an ipaq 2215 now wich I bought myself during my last trip to the US a few weeks ago.

You stayed at their place, and they bought you gift ?
Usually when I stayed at a friend's place, I bought them gift.
I must have stayed at the wrong house.

Kati,
I'll see your added year and raise you 2 new gray hairs (and I don't mean rabbits) for my birthday less than a month ago. :lol:

Oh I almost forgot, Happy Birthday and big Wahoo for the gift you got DimensionZero. :mrgreen:

Cheers

Just 2!?!? I've had grey hair since the 8th grade. My friend found the first one in a Home Ec class. 8O

Yeah seriously.
They are good friends of mine and every year after E3 I do a stop over in NYc to be with them before heading back to Belgium.
They are way too nice to me.

So, my bday is tomorrow :multi: and I've been nagging everyone in my family to put the money together and get me the 2215 for once and for all. Is it bad that I went to my fiance's apartment last Friday to bring her flowers and fix her washer and dryer. As I looked all over the place for a vase, I walked into the living room and for my surprise, there it was. An HP Shopping box laying on the coffee table. I didn't read the note on the top of the box and finished up with the stuff I was trying to do. When she walked in, I was just finishing up the flower arrangement and was laughing 'cause I was so happy she got me that for my bday (which is tomorrow) and she asked: What are those flowers for? And since I didn't want her to think I had seen the box and the flowers were to thank her for it, I said I was just thankful for her coming over to my place the night before and console me since my grandma passed away.
In the midst of all these happenings, is it bad that I have my hopes up that in that box is the one thing I've been wanting to buy for over 2 months? And of course, she asked me last night if she should wait to give me my present when my parents came which is Friday. I was like: "You give me my present the day of my bday :wink: !!
I'll let you guys know what the box contains...

[Janak Parekh]

Good luck. :D I just held a 2215 for the first time, and damn! it's small.

(Sorry to hear about your grandma, though.)

Damnitjim,
Sorry to hear about your grandmother's passing. And I do hope you dream machine is in that box.


Janak,
Oh I have many more gray hairs to keep the other 2 company. :wink:

I haven't held a 2215 yet, but I did get my girly mits on a 1930 at work last week and to be honest it is a bit too thin. But I loved the overall size, speed and clarity of the screen. I didn't want to give it back. :?

Adding: The screen is a bit off-shade when tilted. It isn't really yellow, it is more of an antique parchmant color, very pretty.

Cheers
Paula

[dammitjim]

First of all, thank you for your sympathy messages. :angel:
Yes, I got this huge very nicely wrapped box last night. :new-bday: The bad news is that I can't open it for another 7 hours, because it's at my house and I am not supposed to open it until I get home and my family is with us. *sigh* Oh yeah, I wanted to open the sucker last night (very carefully) and just wrap it back up :wink:
I can't wait to type up a response on it and post it on here.

[nice_micael]

Enjoy it !!! My birthday is coming up next week! :D

[DimensionZero]

Woo! Birthdays and iPAQs for everyone!!

I am loving this little guy! So much fun!
Haha!! Now to get that GPS and WiFi card!

[dammitjim]

I just hope that the gift is what I am expecting it to be. I shook it pretty hard, but nothing moved inside. I already ordered me 256MB CF card from Amazon for $39.99 and am looking for the SD Wi-Fi card (somewhere around 100 bucks).

Just 2!?!? I've had grey hair since the 8th grade. My friend found the first one in a Home Ec class. 8O
Home Ec?

Thinking back to 8th grade, I think Home Ec would have given me gray hairs as well :wink:

Good thing I wasn't required to take it :D

And Happy Birthday to everyone who wants one :new-bday:

[Janak Parekh]

Home Ec?
Well, our school was different and we called it "Home & Careers". I think. And it was required. I managed to sew OK, but I couldn't cook back then to save my soul. ;)

(Apologies for going OT...)

YESSSS!!! 28 years ago I was born and today, my h2215 was born... and I'm going to take care of it like my little baby :wink:
It's sooo exciting to hold this little thing in your hand. All the posts about how beautiful this item is are soooo true!
I think I'm going to go lay down because after many many beers, I think I can wait the 4 hours for the iPaq to charge. Long live the h2215!!!
