Many years ago, I caved and bought my first Palm, a Vx. I named him Bunter, because what else would you call something that was going to gently take over and organize your life?
Bunter 1.2 came about when Bunter had to be replaced -- same model, same software, same everything. And he performed beautifully for many years of meetings, commuting, plane-reading, and generally acting as my brain (and far more dependable than the meat one, sadly).
But thing started to slow down, and the screen was getting scratched, and it became time to retire him to easier pastures (i.e. my mom, who will use him as an address and date book only).
And so, today, I put hands on Bunter 2.0. A Tungsten E, silvery and shiny and while I'll miss my faithful Vx, I can't wait to start putting him through his paces...
Now to see if my old software will translate without making me froth and stress. Wheeee!

Next time we're at a con together I'll beam you over a picture of a certain meerkat with a moose that I took at Philcon in 1999 that you might get a kick out of :)
