To comment on some points made earlier....
Hi, my name is Emily and I'm a Female Geek.
When I sleep alone, my PPC shares my bed with me because I play games or read right before going to sleep. Though when I have company, the PPC gets relegated to the nightstand.
I have IMed my boyfriend from my cell phone when he was 2 feet away from me and there was another computer right next to him for my use. Because I could.
When he showed me that he could change the TV stations from his Ipaq, I thought it was the coolest thing ever! How neat to be able to go to someone's house and really freak them out by being the TV ghost
Someday when I get married, I expect that we'll have matching PPCs and a wireless network set up at home, so he can IM me to tell me when dinner's ready instead of yelling up the stairs

And I'll never give him a hard time about buying new tech toys as long as he does the same for me!
Oh and just to further illustrate my dorkiness, the first 2 things I loaded onto my Axim were my DnD character sheet, and the Slicer and Dicer dice-rolling program. I still carry around my paper character sheet and my real dice. Why did I put them on my PPC? BIC!
