Casio Boss (1986?-1993)
Poqet PC (1990-1995)
HP 200LX (1993-1998)
Palmpilot Pro (1997-1999)
Palm 3X (1999-2000)
Visor (2000-2001) (LOST IT)
Palm M505
I've "sync'd" with a workstation (from Old IBM PC to a Thinkpad) since 1987. Even the BOSS had a PC connector kit.

I forgot - I briefly had an early version of the Casio BOSS, between Sharp devices. It sucked compared to the Sharp, at least the version I had. I dumped it to get a new Sharp.

Ice Visor Deluxe - 9 months
Silver Visor Edge - 1 month
Palm m505 - 2 month
Considering buying an ipaq/jordana for the fun of it. would make a good small multimedia machine. I'd still keep the m505 as my main pda though

DayTimer (4 years)
HP 200LX ~ 1.5 years
Psion Series 5 ~ 1.5 years
Palm III ~ 1 year (overlaps with Psion usage)
Palm V ~ 1 month (sold it to my brother and opted for the next machine...)
Palm IIIx ~ 1 year (wanted more memory)
Handspring Visor Deluxe ~ 1 year
Handspring Visor Prism ~ 1 month (returned it...)
Handspring Visor Platinum ~ 4 months (sold it to a co-worker)
Handspring Visor Prism ~ 9 months (couldn't live without color)
Agenda VR3 Developer Edition ~ 1 month (pretty rough; returned it)
Compaq iPaq 3670 ~ 4 months (had to try WinCE)
Sony Cli� 760C -- ships around 2001.09.27, on pre-order 
Still using the Prism as my primary PDA. New Cli� will replace the Prism; iPaq will go on sale shortly. (All times are approximate -- I didn't go back to look through receipts...)

brain - completely unreliable
sticky notes - somewhat more reliable
daytimer - quite reliable, but bulky
daytimer + nokia phone (phone #'s, calendar, alarms) - reliable, bulky, but now somewhat electronic
Visor (2mb + 8mb flash) - organizational nirvana
On a related note, I just recently finished transferring several years worth of old calendar items from my daytimer to my Visor. Quite a daunting task, but very worthwhile.

Snapped icu charge head.

Palm Vx - won it in a contest and sold it unopened to raise cash for a Visor!
Visor Deluxe
Visor Deluxe upgrade to handle wireless modem
Visor Prism
NEED to trade in Prism, perhaps - buttons are not always working

MIGHT do the bulkier VisorPhone to keep the color IF gsm comes to my area

Brain (not sure of usefullness) Apr '63 - Feb '83
Modified said brain in USMC (can't say for certain that any changes were good/bad, except now I always wake up w/o alarm clock) 1983 - 1987
Did not use anything Feb '87 - Oct '89
Chalk on concrete floor and sketch paper (glassblowers don't need to do much scheduling, all you ever do is eat, sleep, and blow glass)Oct '89 - Dec '95
Franklin Planner (both wife and I started w/ classic sized) Dec '95 -Nov '98
Compact Franklin Planner (needed something smaller because I would never bring my planner with me) Nov '98 - Dec '99
Green Visor Deluxe (needed something more interactive and wanted to have one) Dec '99 - Mar (?) '00
Blue Visor Deluxe (replaced lost gvd, Backup module earns its keep for the first time. Wife dumped Franklin for Palm Desktop at this time. When we got new Dell this month she switched to calender in MS Word Suite) Mar (?) '00 - now
Don't need a smaller one, and don't NEED color although if I have a good month I may get a Prism. Bought a reduced Audrey and sync it in kitchen so wife has my schedule handy.

I think there was another thread similar to this on General Chat but here goes anyway. I also just found out what the Sharp PDA was. I am a school right now and I can't just go find out from my desk drawer.
1. Sharp SE-500 - August 22?, 2000 - February 12, 2001
2. Visor Deluxe - February 12, 2001 - August 8, 2001
3. Visor Platinum - August 8, 2001 - June 2002?

Wanted a Visor Deluxe but my wife got one first since I had the Palm III.
Wanted an Edge but my wife broke the digitizer on her Deluxe twice in three months so she got the Edge.
