I'm a bit sad that I have to announce that from today, I will no longer be a contributing editor to Pocket PC Thoughts. Due to personal circumstances being a volunteer at this great site is something I can no longer do. I have had a great time as an editor in the past years, and that is mainly thanks to you, the readers of Pocket PC Thoughts. The best thing is that I know that my fellow editors, and the other people that help Jason run the best Windows Mobile sites, will continue to do a great job. As the rest of you, I'll be part of the community enjoying their great work!

Marlof,

Thanks for all your insightfull posts and articles. You always seemed to pick up on things I've missed.

I hope your personal reasons are not too trying and I wish you all the best for the future.

Its a real pity to see you go. We have so few European perspectives here on PPCthoughts. This is unfortunately, as pocketpc's are really taking off here, and new technology such as 3G and bluetooth is much more accepted here than e.g. America. You provided a much needed balance.

I wish you well for the future, and hope you are back soon.

How many times do you have to say goodbye. We all know that you will still be here contributing just the way you can.

Hate to see you go Marlof. :byebye: You are one of the original small group that made Pocket PC Thoughts the success it is today. I hope you will stay active to some degree in the forums and post a thought or two inside some of the front page threads from time to time.

It's been fun, Marlof. I remember your posts in the news groups before Pocket PC Thoughts was more than a glimmer in Jason's eye. I know you will be around and will look forward to whatever posting you do. Your insight has always been great.

You will be missed, Marlof. I've been reading PPCT since almost the beginning ("joined" much later) but as I was deciding which PPC to get, I recall you had a Jornada. As I was considering it, it helped to make my decision, reading about some of your experiences with it. That Jornada is still my "daily driver". Thanks!

For those with an eye for history, Marlof was the very first "helper" that Pocket PC Thoughts had. If memory serves, I was going away on vacation and I needed someone to help keep the news going, and I asked my friend Marlof. And the rest, as they say, is history. :D

Marlof was one of the first people I saw educate the community on the difference between Bluetooth and WiFi and how the two can be complementary instead of competing technologies. It was really helpful to me in assessing how I could leverage each in different situations and scenarios.

Marlof, you've been a true class act here at PPCT and you will be missed! Like many others, I hope we continue to see your insights in the future as a community member.

Marlof wish you all the best in your endeavors. Hopefully you will still find enough time to drop by and answer a few posts and start a thread or two. :)

It was so much fun reading this thread, and see all familiar names (and for some picturing the accompanying faces) pop up. Thanks for all the kind words. It really has been my pleasure to spend my time in here!
