Memories

I typed up my degree assignments on one… Used for study whilst working away from home. Most memorable thing was day of 911 in office, I was the only person able to get external internal internet, plugged in to phone line. Crowd around me watched twin towers go down on Jornada. Will never forget.

I went through every 600-700 versions of the HP Jornada, loved them. Would dock it at my office desk in the morning, only to take it with me for the morning meetings and reply there to the emails, dock it again afterwards and voila! ?

When my colleagues were still carrying rather heavy laptops on international travels, all I had was my HP Jornada with it’s built in modem and phone plug I just plugged it into a phone outlet in the hotel room. Loved them!
