PDA Timeline:

bulletEarly 2000 (Dates unknown) - Bought a Oz-730 organizer for $70 or thereabouts - A Wizard.  It only had a Software Development kit.  I ended up writing a program to do a lot of RPG tasks and had it put on the My Wizard site.  
bulletLate 2000 -  Due to an e-book app and a few other apps I outgrew the 730 and replaced it with the 3MB OZ-750.
bulletAugust 2001 - Bought a Handspring Visor Platinum  - Eventually got a Memplug CF
bulletOctober 2001 - Got a Landware GoType Keyboard. 
bulletDecember 2001 - Got a Targus Handcam - for my Platinum.  A fun toy, but it didn't hold up more than a few months.  Pictures could be distorted at times.  But it did prompt me to get a color Visor.
bulletFebruary 2002 - Got a Handspring Visor Prism
bulletMarch 2002 - Purchased a Targus keyboard for the Prism since the Landware only fit the Platinum.
bulletJune 2002 - Started being active poster of PDABuzz 
bulletAugust 2002 -  After PDABuzz was bought out I left it for PDA Avenue.   Retired my Handcam after getting a true digital camera.
bulletMay 2003 - My Prism battery is loosing strength.  ALWAYS charging it.
bulletJune 2003 - Set up my wife with the Platinum.  She soon becomes hooked.
bulletAugust 17, 2003- Looking into getting a new PDA for myself, AND my wife.  She is leaning towards the Zire71.  I'm looking into the upcoming Sony UX50.

Late September 2003 - My Prism takes a dive off of the charging cradle, landing face plate first on an open CD Spindle.  <CRACK>  But I got the extended replacement warranty from CompUSA when I got it.  It's only been 18 months out of the 24, so I get money towards a new replacement PDA.  I choose the Sony UX50.

bulletOctober 2003 -  I get the Palm Wireless Keyboard after hearing it works on the Sony UX50.  It also works on the Zire 71, and is soon working for Anne on her Zire71.   Also, I use one of the promotional discounts to get the Extended Battery for the UX50.

 

bulletOctober 4th/5th 2003 - I take pictures of Tech TV personalities using the UX50 (See the link at the top of the page)
bulletNovember 2003 - I set up a WiFi network in my Condo for my UX50 
bulletNovember 28 2003 - I get involved with Palmforums.net discussion forum
bulletDecember 10, 2003 - I discover TextAmerica.  I start my own photo blog - Life thru a UX50.   It becomes really fun when I discover I can send VIDEO to them.
