So I rocked a Zire 72 then a T|X back in the day. The T|X was the first device I owned personally with Wi-Fi. I remember walking around the streets in my neighborhood looking for open networks.

Those were the days.

"You didn’t spend the money on a Palm Pilot to play games or scroll social media. You spent the extra money on a Palm PDA because you had a job to do. Palm Pilots were the original productivity monsters, keeping us on schedule and connected..."

I still have mine and I know it works.

I still use a Palm Pilot in 2025, and you should, too

Wow, this is a 25-year-old Palm Pilot still being used in 2025

One of my younger friends was asking about Palm Pilots, and PDAs.
I had several, but this was my favorite.

Suddenly got really nostalgic for the Palm PDA I had back in college. Get off my lawn for a moment, but it did everything I needed it to, while being significantly faster and more responsive than any new-fangled "smart" device I've ever had to put up with.

This "never delete data" thing ... seems I still have backups of my Palm Pilot in my backups.

I'm going to search if there's an emulator I could load that into next am I not

Found a Palm Pilot IIIxe on Goodwill for $7.99 currently. Ends in about a day and a half. Released in early 2000, this was one of the last in the Palm III series, with 8MB RAM and a 160x160 screen. Back in the day you weren’t a true geek if you weren’t rocking one of these on a belt holster (probably next to your pager 🙂).

In retrospect, I also now realize why I liked (still do) Palm OS so much.

Global application menu bar (File, Edit, etc.) at the top of the screen. You know, like all good operating system interfaces have.

Back in the late '90s I registered / paid for a few programs for the Apple Newton with Kagi, one of the early payment processors. I hadn't much thought about them since.

On IRC, I just overheard that there is some paid search engine called Kagi, at the same URL.

But, what happened to the Kagi I knew? A little digging revealed that it did not end well for the beleaguered company headed by Kee Nethery.

Kagi Shuts Down After Falling Prey to Fraud (article dated 2016)

tidbits.com/2016/08/04/kagi-sh

"The news was as sad as it was unexpected. Kagi, one of the earliest digital commerce companies and long a favorite of many Mac shareware developers, has shut down as of 31 July 2016, just shy of 22 years in business."

Sad story.

Web archive link of the old Kagi website: web.archive.org/web/1999020800 (from Feb 1999)

Anyone still using a Palm device for ebook reading? Would like to hear hardware and software details.

A long shot, but does anyone remember a Scorched Earth clone for the Palm Pilot? I can't remember the name of it. #palm #palmpilot #scorchedearth

The Mrs. is going through some old boxes, and found the sticker that came with your Palm Pilot to teach you Graffiti -- which prompted me to remember my sole unique contribution to the All Your Base meme explosion.

#AYBABTU #AllYourBase #ZeroWing #PalmPilot

(Context for the uninitiated: arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/02)

A Palm Graffiti reference grid, where the A-Z strokes are replaced with the Graffiti characters "ALLYOURBASE" in the A-M row, "AREBELONGTOUS" in the N-Z row, and text editing stroke labels replaced with "SOME", "BODY", "SET" "UP US" and "THE BOMB". Notably, the strokes for "THE BOMB" are similar to two exclamation points. The timestamp in the original GIF is March 21, 2001.

Flashback to the Palm m105 PDA, 2001’s pocket organizer with a monochrome screen & stylus. It was the early 2000s tech icon for managing life on the move. A nod to simpler, pre-smartphone days. 📅✏️
