    I'm glad you paired it with an appropriate IBM laptop! I'm a bit biased to desktops & laptops but it's good to be exposed to other retro gear on the channel 🙂

      Thanks!! I'm glad you enjoyed. Hopefully others will as well, the reception hasn't been great so far, but hey... Not every video will be loved by all. :)

    I knew a guy back in the day who had one of these. I aways thought it was a little too limited to be useful, but he loved it.

      I never had this one, I had a Palm3xe, loved mine and used it for everything.

      @@TheRetroRecall I was never organized enough to make full use of them. I had a 3com one that was basically an address book / phone number directory.

    0:05 You know, if you ever get tired of the retro PC subject matter you could do shadow puppets with the lighting set up you have there 😄
    1:14 I would love one of those I had the 1 st gen Palm Pilot and I had the Dell equivalent with a colour screen.
    5:12 Man I remember my Outlook PST file being corrupted during failed syncs more than once, I remember I wrote a batch file to back up my PST file before syncing in case things went south during a sync ... ah the good old days.
    9:48 Infra red to transmit data was very unreliable and sssslllloooowwww, these whipper snappers today don't know how lucky they are to have Bluetooth
    13:54 Yes the special software was pretty handy, little database programs to track all kinds of things like inventory, I seem to remember having a IR scanner attached for bar codes that would populate database fields.
    16:46 Is this is where we started to get into trouble? As the tech programmed us rather than the human programming the tech ....

      Hahaha I feel like a puppet show may be my next video release lol! I watched your most recent video - glad you got the water all cleaned up!

    I was a little later to this party, and had a Sony Clie. Still PalmOS, but much more powerful, and even had a WiFi option.

    • @TheRetroRecall
      @TheRetroRecall  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ohh WiFi would have been nice!

      I may have to do a video on one. I have one in box.

      It was an add-on. IIRC there were two different ways you could add wifi, and I bought the first one before discovering the second one, which was a much better solution. It's just been too long since I had it to remember the details, though.
