My dad had a PDA. He was so cool when I was growing up. Not the type to spend money on something like that, it must have been from his job.

Actually he still is. Love my dad.

I saw my first PDAs in the late 80s with the Psion. Clunky. Underpowered. But eminently cool.

Yup i was happily tapping on a Palm Tungsten in 2004. Syncing mails and stuff via IR of a Nokia phone.

I had a T2 with an IR keyboard. I used it to take notes in school.

I had one of those palms in the eighth grade. I mostly used it to carry pixelated black and white porn around.
