My palmtops story

All started years ago — I was living in Wrocław then. Each Thursday groups of friends met in pub. About half of them used PalmOS powered palmtops. Due to them I started thinking about buying palmtop for myself.

About year later I bought my first PDA: Palm M105. It had monochrome screen (16 shades of [...]

When it end I will have to check all packages, split them [...]
