About me ...
Alexander Moiseev, 1950 p. - Contemporary half a century, one might say. In the former, pre-capitalist era, engaged in building communism in one country in the field of electronics, automation, acoustics, precision mechanics and instrumentation in various research institutes with loud names of executives. Now I work in a bank "Russian Bankers' House". When you first got the idea of buying something such ... organizing? Somewhere in 1996 - the first was the Citizen 7700, due to its holdings of cable for connection to a PC. But irritating device interface, the program (DOS) for the connection to work through the stump-deck, was uncomfortable keyboard input (could not get a finger in the small button). Today I have a Sony CLIE T615. Generally, first a long time thinking and reading that would find a better for my goals, rather than Citizen 7700, with its "nedoklaviaturoy. (Incidentally, in the home library is kept PC Magazine / RE 1998 number 8 with a spectacular overview on p.112 - Robert S. Anthony "The most personal computers." Topical and to this day:)) And suddenly, the Savyolovsky market, the chance met b / PalmPilot in 5000 for a completely ridiculous money. That predetermined my fate ... Angular, with mutnenkim screen (an impression - especially machine "crudely made" for the B-1 bomber - with reference to the onboard network, the internal design of the aircraft and the color of feed-hand radio operator:)), but he could have it all: work with key I needed apps: AddressBook, DateBook, ToDo, Memo (they have survived to this day the new models). Instead of the keyboard - a pen. Write on a new "study for half an hour ... (In my opinion, it is very convenient if you do not put the main criterion for the input speed). Magnificent sync with your desktop computer, and - lo and behold! -Whole 512 KB of memory for user needs .. Compared with 7700, it was a breakthrough in the future ... In addition, countless programs available on the Internet (which I then just started to learn), in the mass of free or shareware, with the ability to work 15-30 days - long enough to make them sick, or someone produced the best analog. Even managed to address book from 7700 to 5000 to convert without loss, though it was somehow in capital letters, but readable in Russian. And then? Did other cars / models?

| Palm IIIc |
I was amused PalmPilot 5000 and since then, until I saw the Palm III ... By the time I have lacked 512 KB of memory and 2 Mbytes in the model Palm III, bright, readable screen treshki "struck me as the acme of perfection. Then I started thinking about expanding the memory Palm III to 4 MB, but, then burst into the world of avant-garde Palm form factor Palm V, and emotions prevail over reason - I bought a Palm V. Then - after seeing Palm IIIc - I forgot about the form factor of the Palm V. Oh, it was another story - Palm IIIc! In my opinion this is the most successful, "breakthrough" model of Palm, so there anyone says. 8 MB of memory and the first - FIRST! - Color screen on Palm! Let him work a little less of the charge to be recharged, albeit a longer, thicker and heavier than the Palm V, but the color ... as much as 256 colors! Then there were the sleepless nights and experiments with PalmPix (camera without flash adjusts to the Palm IIIc, trying anything to shoot, "merge" in Photoshop ... it was a decent piece of life). We can say with a Palm IIIc, I plunged into the world of digital photography, emerge from which I can not still ...

| REX 6000 |
It was in my history and fascination with model REX (organizer, credit card size), was subsequently killed by the manufacturers (Intel has removed it from the production last year). Beautiful machine, but problems with Russification, namely the lack of search in the address book in Russian, was forced to abandon it. Although, as a miniature supplement to the Palm, it has no equal so far. That someone would have picked up and corrected the situation. Theme is just for graduate work;) Can I estimate how much all these electronic toys simplify your life? Actually, I can not imagine existence without a Palm. When the broken screen with your Palm IIIc - had in the Word to drive the base of contacts, which took 64 pages 12 font in two columns. Hauling sheets of paper a week in diplomacy, to use the search in Word, when he had to find the target. (PalmDesktop installed only on a home PC) Ghastly and bad memories. I wake up at night in a cold sweat:) But here's how to evaluate ... I think just now, to take and can not be assessed - it is priceless. Guests who have tasted Palm - he will understand me, it's part of life! And what opportunities are not being used? Apparently those who, at the moment I do not know or are not available by region of residence or the pricing policy of mobile operators, or lack of time searching in the internet. I'm not a programmer and do not spend all day behind the screen of the monitor. Rather, it is a hobby that much easier and organize my work and life. Therefore, many opportunities Palm I probably still open. Any external programs are used? Games, Utilities ... A lot and always. There is also a favorite. Loved "launcher" - MegaLauncher, the best program in my view, McFile (file management utility), thanks to my friend Andrei Andreyev, who showed me all its features ... Best game (my wife's opinion) - Bubbles. Very difficult to remember all the programs that had been used - has been tested only sea, list only the names will take more than one sheet, the archive downloaded from the Internet (look, not lazy) on my PC "weighs" 345 MB. Say, now, according to the program ProgList today on my Sony set to 63 programs, 134 databases, all it takes is 12,849 KB ... More than half, of course, unnecessary, but no time to do and clean. Main, from a personal point of view, the dignity of Sony CLIE?

| Sony PEG T-615C |
Minimum size, color, and read in the sun and at dusk, screen, high resolution of 320x320 (although sometimes interfere with some programs, it is necessary to disable - but it allows prossmatrivat photos from your digital camera with an acceptable image quality), for a long time without recharging, great and shustraya synchronization with a large computer via USB, 16 MB of onboard memory, USB, infrared port (for the exchange of business cards, the program and control your TV and VCR), JogDial (there are no words, some enthusiasm!), ease of use Graffiti , beauty and style machines, slot for MemoryStick cards, etc. etc. etc. .. In general, since when Sony was releasing Soup running PalmOS, the company that created the Palm, Palm, Inc. moved away, in my opinion, a little bit into the background. Giant home appliance industry has brought to the flavor of these products, which is so lacking in the beautiful development of Palm, Inc. - Thoroughness in all that relates to ergonomics and ease of use. Slightly alarming frequency of appearance of new models from Sony and cease support for older, but ... Business is business, have to put up ...Accept the fact that after a month or two, you, the owner of the newest models at this moment, you will become not such a "cool", but rather just a "backward" and again have to buy a new model from Sony, with a rotating screen, built-in keyboard and bg Graffiti "-style HandEra 330 .... bored not allow:) The main disadvantages? Lack of Teflon feather in its original configuration:) Actually, the "Teflon Pen - my development (Certificate for utility model number 15936 priority from 13.09.2000, the owner - Moiseev Alexander L.), in fact - a new version of the tip of the pen, with the possibility of use for all (from EPOC to Windows CE, Palm's to Casio PocketViewer, etc.) systems practitioners enter information or control through the touch screen. From the abstract to the application for utility model: "... The technical result is to increase the durability of the touch screen computer ..." And it's true, confirmed by two years of operation has many users ... Today, this design is used from Brest to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, from Lithuania, through Peter - Ukraine - to Israel (this is only the extreme points, which I'll send them by mail to friends - palmovodam). Technology for manufacturing such a pen is simple, open and published on the Internet. And everyone can extend the life of the screen of his digital assistant, a little work with a file on a noble fluoroplastic F-4 GOST 10007;) A mobile internet use it? No, I think it is still unreasonably expensive. Palm works for me, "adapter" between home and work PCs, replacing the latter in the subway, in a car, kitchen and so on ...) All the "mobile to become" I have no time and no need for this. I can not believe it, but I did not use SMS. Due to the characteristics of the working process, a call to a mobile phone for me is a sign of extraordinary, fire and general SOS-situation. This means in ordinary life and his work I have something not thought through and done something wrong ... But I am a "white crow" ... The vast majority of my friends have successfully used not only by mail, but wander over the expanse of the Internet by using a mobile phone and Palm at the earliest opportunity. Very funny to see a meeting of club users Palm man, listening to a report on the new program and there also "rock" on the mobile of the information on it from the developer ... :) Any accessories? Modem, Carrying Case ... No cover, even in Russia is not set to 615. Suffer immensely:) compensate camera Sony DSC-P5-compatible MS for rapid viewing and retrieving photos on the 615-th. And why all with the brand Sony? And because the MemoryStick. Pulled out of the picture, put in the CLIE, looked - zater or left - all in my hands:) And the "reader" (a device for reading memory cards, connects to a PC) for the boards' only MemoryStick "is significantly cheaper than a universal model Compatible with all mainboards. There is no place for choice: if one device from Sony is - despite the price, it is worth to achieve compatibility, buying and other ... It's a Sony. It is our stated it: "claw stuck, the whole bird ...":) And is there the feeling that something is missing? Desire to go there on other platforms - PocketPC, Psion, PocketViewer? .. No, as an advanced organizer, as a means of expression and the surprise of others, as Graffiti for the recording, as a pocket library as a dictionary translator, as a "road" Word / Excel, as a lantern, in the end (and that - in the dark, the light from the backlight completely "to seek" a meter-polotora:) - Sony CLIE PEG-T615C me all happy. PalmOS - ideal for my goals and aspirations. I repeat, I am not a programmer. I just use that laid the - initially - the developer of this program and if it (the program) does not suit me, I'm just looking for another, but do not climb into the debugger, or on other platforms:) brings a technique? There were crashes, but ... Make timely backups of data! Benefit to the Palm, this process takes place almost automatically. But in general - it all depends on the user and his brains. Iron - is iron, use it - there are users:) 98% "hardresetov" I was getting from what did not read the instructions to the installable program .... The most vivid recollection of life associated with the Palm? ..

How it came to us with Peter Volkov (aka Spider in "pedeashnyh" conferences) at a meeting at Chillwind idea to organize a meeting in Moscow full-time lovers and fans of the PDA in the image of St. Petersburg "Pilotovok (regular meetings for lovers of hand PC in St. Petersburg , approx. ed.). First joke, but it turned out to be many, and now no longer throw and does not change. 17-th Moscow pilotovka recently held soon, as is usually the third Tuesday of the month, held on 18 th pilotovka (they are now taking place in civilized conditions, in a cafe with beer lovers and a light meal for your money - we nonprofit organization, sponsors, too, there is no :) a group of enthusiasts established the Moscow Palmklub, a mailing list of news of the club of 129 people that I report the news and who can not betray and deceive. As a result, all resulted in the Association of mobile users and become an integral part of life "palm" of my community and personally. This is a kind of drug ... Sources, Materials:
