Remember those? I still have it--can't bear to let it go for sentimental reasons.

In late 2000, I had just bought one of the new Compaq Ipaq; that darn thing was so cool. I bought one of the PCMCIA sleaves, then bought a Verizon Wireless aircard. The aircard had some phone software in it for Windows Mobile, so voila, one of the first Pocket PC phones. I remember taking that thing to one of our local Atlanta PPC meetings and everyone was clamoring to see this monstrosity!

It was either my Sharp or HP Handheld PC... I went from the Sharp Mobilon to the HP Jornada 680... had a few great devices before that as well :^).

I use a BlackBerry now, so it would be nice to re-familiarize myself with a good Windows Mobile device!

I loved my Treo, built my own CF adapter for it, had lots of gadgets for it, I either had the original treo in green, or had already updated to the full color model that Treo offered around that time.

Wow how I loathe the PalmOS now looking back on it.

Back in October 2000, I had a Franklin day planner and didn't even have a cell phone yet (couldn't afford the luxury back then)!

Back in 2000 I was only 14 years old and I had a phone that I could make light up, pretending that someone was calling me. To stay organized, well, I didn't stay organized I'm not sure I knew what it meant back then. But nowadays. its a the XDA Flame.

Way back then?!? I was doing snowblowing as side line work... I just used the paper and pen

I was eaither using a Compaq Aero 1550 ( Amazon.com: Compaq Aero 1550 Pocket PC: Electronics ) or the iPaq 3650 ( Amazon.com: Compaq iPAQ 3650 Color Pocket PC: Electronics ). I just don't remeber exactly when I upgraded to a color unit once I realized how powerful the Pocket PC OS was!

This makes me realize, however, that I know I joined PPC Thoughts shortly after your website launched (October 2000), yet my avatar indicates I joined in 2006? Must of been a casulty of the forum migrations while back, correct?

Thanks for the contest!

In 2000, I had my Handspring Visor Deluxe, the translucent model. I recall that I learned about the upstart Handspring early and I was one of the first orders from their site. It was a very big deal to order online for me then. I also had a Springboard module with 8 extra MB of storage. Hard core, baby!

I still have everything in iCal from syncing with my visor, although I had to use Palm Desktop for years until a third party Mac synchronization tool for iCal came out. Well, one that worked, sort of, mostly, okay not really but well enough to still go back and see my schedule then. lol

In 2000, I was definitely still using a planner (maybe Daytimer). Definitely not a PDA. Congrats PPT.
