Personal Information Managers To Personal Digital Assistant

Back in the old school days, I used a Day Runner (pen & paper based).

My first electronic organizer was a Casio 256 MB unit. I thought I was the whip when I had this baby.

Then I upgraded to a Psion. I think I bought it at Radio Shack while I was on a business trip. It was so long ago, I can't recall the details. I do remember the reason I bought it though. It had a voice recording feature that allowed me to use any recording as my alarm - and I wanted to record my daughter talking to me - so that when I was away on a business trip - I could wake up to the sound of my daughter's voice saying, "Wake up Daddy!"

It was on the Psion that I got my first glimpse of the Internet, connecting online to CompuServe, trying out online chat.

From the Psion, I switched over to Palm Pilot as soon as Palm was released. I had the Palm III, Palm IIIc (color), Palm IIIx, Palm IIIe, and the Palm VII (wireless).

From the Palm, I switched to a Dell Pocket PC with wireless connection built in... and that's where I'm at today.
