 Cool Hi!

Hi all!

Sorry, I'm not sure if this is how I should introduce myself or not - but i'm going to anyway!


I just got a PDA (Visor Deluxe) for Christmas, after falling in love with them in September or something. I just found this site and after reading a couple of comments I thought this would be the forum I should join since you sound like a friendly lot. (Bit of sucking up )

Anyway - I love computers and gadgets, I love communication and a lot of sports. I'm from England so i don't play American sports, although American Football is great, my friends don't play and as a result neither do I.

Maybe some of you could introduce yourself to me? Maybe you could ignore this post and tell me to shut up...

First thing: I am the ultimate font of wisdom. Don't listen to anything Toby or DickRichardson say.

Second thing: congrats on your new toy

Third thing: take nothing seriously, especially the first thing.

Fourth Thing: WRT the second thing, what color?

Fifth thing: reread the third thing

Sixth thing: ignore the fifth thing.

Seventh thing: WRT the fourth and the second thing: why did you pick a VDX?

Eigth thing: Why are you still reading this thing?

I say Dietrich Bohn is the ultimate font of wisdom. Now infinite loop yourself and resolve that. :�~~~

Hell, he already beats my post-per-day ratio by 0.39 posts. I don't think anyone can compete with you there, though.

edit: oops, did dyslexic math there

Go ahead and post a new thread for your 1000th post. I think you deserve it.

Bah...look at the forum title. How do you move a friendly introduction post in the Off Topic forum off topic? Can't be done.*

Welcome to the board.

I also started with a Visor Deluxe and from there became a complete addict. The PDA has to be the ultimate gadget and I am sure you will enjoy yours.

Welcome. I started with a Visor Deluxe and still haven't upgraded. It works fine for me, but I just use it for scheduling, mp3s, addresses, phone numbers, Bible study, reading books and interesting articles, note taking, game playing, calculating payments, etc.

Don't listen to Dietrichbohn, he won't share his monkey.

Welcome, and enjoy the board! I started out with a GVDX, upgraded to an Edge, and now have a Prism. you will find that owning a PDA is addictive and can cost you millions You will find that the people here are the best. If you have a problem and it can't be answered on this board there is not an answer to be found. So sit back and enjoy the ride

One Year Ago Today I signed up on this little board. I even posted on the first day.

...Now I'm back in school, married, and have gone through nearly every goddamn visor there is to go through (and tried to go through one more...). Now I'm here way too often, in the top 10 posters, posting something like 4-5 per day...


...clearly, anybody that signs up today is equally screwed. Mark my words: Feb 1st, the day of obsession.

PDAs are definately an obsession...

I've had it for a whole month now - i've got quite a bit of software and i'm getting a keyboard for it soon. Can't afford a stowaway so i'm getting a slightly cheaper one (�40) that i can use with my thumbs.

This is definately the best forum i can find - everyone is so much more helpful and welcoming.
