I am just amazed.

After much research and debate, I bought myself an HP iPAQ 4355. It’s barely bigger than a pack of cards, but the built-in keypad makes text entry a breeze.

Better yet, the wireless networking solution makes it possible for me to check email and update MadeByMark while carrying nothing more than a tiny PocketPC while I’m on the go.

This entry, in fact, was sent while walking Chelsea in the backyard. Meanwhile, in the background, my local weather, news, and movie times are updating automatically.

How strange to hold in the palm of my hand more computing power than could have been squeezed into six rooms just thirty years ago!
