When I was in a bus, the person next to me was in their teen's and was quiet worried because her mobiles battery had drained out. She asked me what was that thing I have, I told her it's a Palm pda you can send emails as one of my examples. I then asked her what was the problem she said I need to get in contact with my Father as I'm on my way to my friends place and will be back for afternoon tea.

Such a simple problem but I understood, so I asked her you can always email him at his work, I'm sure he has instant access to his emails. And she said thanks that is a great idea, she sent a quick email with my help and her father replied no problems, and thanks to the person for helping my daughter!

Now my palm is just the best

When I totally forgot that I had an appointment with my sons school teacher about his performance at school my pda gave me a warning within 2 hours luckily for me I had enabled this before hand. I was at first shocked that no it cant be today but then I was happy to have been warned 2 hours earlier which gave me enough time to do my own things before I head off.

Thanks to Jodi who has participated in the star user profiles for her palm inspiration has drawn her to it! Who still continues to stick with palm and uses it to her best capabilities. Individuals born under capricorn are seen to be a goat not really but like a goat you can say :D they like to climb up the mountain that is to a successfull career making them ambitious. They are also seen as responsible, conscientious, efficient and organised! Looks like you have it all sorted out Jodi now that you have your palm handheld your ontop of things way more then what you could have asked for! Thanks again to Jodi for her contribution and time.

1.What is your Name: Ian Mackereth

2. Where do You Live : Gooseberry Hill, Perth Australia

3. What is your Current Pda?

A T3 (my second, after washing the first one in the washing machine!)
I looked at a T5 (no voicememo, hence no voicetraining app), the LD
(too damn big) and a Treo650 (too small a screen and I don't need a
converged device)

4. What made inspired you to buy a palm pda?

I saw a colleague from the US using his Pilot 1000 in early 1997 and
ordered mine from the US very shortly afterwards!
128k of RAM, woohoo!

5. How do you keep yourself organised?

No mere gadget can achieve that impossible task, but I attempt it using
the built-in PIM applications and Daynotez.

6. What is it that keeps you hooked to your pda?

I wake up to it in the morning (Mother! plays an MP3) and it's the last thing I see at night (an ebook before bedtime) In between, it's my podcast player in the car, my note-taker and information source at work, the crux of my geocaching hobby, my game machine in idle moments, and many, many other roles. Apart from my car, it's the technological item that has the most direct day-to-day impact on my life.

7. What is your favourite food?

Chocolate. And everything else except tomato

8. What is your star sign?

I'm far too intelligent to believe in that rubbish. Most of us Pisceans
are.

9. What ebook are you reading at the moment?

Ilium by Dan Simmons. And enjoying it immensely!

10. What is your Favourite Colour?

Primary colours, especially blue (to match my eyes) and red (to match my complexion!)

11. What is your favourite pastime?

Geocaching. Check out bearleft.mackereth.net for more information. When I'm not actually out caching with my wife, I'm probably planning or working on a new cache or reading/writing about it!

12. Who is your favourite Actor & Actress?

I'm not really much of a film buff. I haven't watched TV for years and only recently resumed going to the cinema.
Umm... William Hurt and Heather Graham, just off the top of my head.

13. Tell me about a time when your pda made your day!

Someone at a work conference was giving a presentation and said that "Ian was involved with the initial design, early last year"

I had the Palm out anyway (probably playing Bejewelled with the sound off), so I quickly looked it up in DayNotez and said "Actually, it was earlier than that; I first spoke to them on November 18, 2002."

"Oh, yeah? What time?" he asked sarcastically.

"11:20" I replied, deadpan.

One of my fellow Palm converts turned to the bloke from Melbourne who's still clinging to his dead-tree system and said "Try doing that with your Filofax!"

Thanks to Ian who has participated in the star user profiles for his palm inspiration has drawn him to it! Who still continues to stick with palm and uses it to his best capabilities. A piscean at that too not a star sign believer he says well the pisceans are seen as empathetic, open hearted and intuitive people! Who rely on their instincts rather than facts or logic and as well as being daydreamy and creative! and known to go with the flow rather than stick with the current. What do you think of that Ian? true or not I know what you will say NAAAA :) Well thanks again to Ian for his Palm Experience and precious time, do visit his website www.bearleft.mackereth.net for more information about geocaching.
