Last night some of my twitter buddies started chatting about old tech and then about me. The conversation is posted below and is rather fun to read. Also great people to follow on twitter.

This was my first mobile device, a Sharp IQ-7000. 64kb memory! I hated the A-Z keyboard. Followed it with a Psion S3 twitpic.com/cinmt4

@crimsonsky76 I thought so, back in 1990!

@scoffer Wow. I bought my first mobile (Palm Pilot Pro) in 1998. You got 8 years on me!

@crimsonsky76 down to the UK having Psion devices from the late 80’s. The Series 3 was an awesome device twitpic.com/cinoev

@stmcgill @scoffer We know, Shaun, we know! 🙂 I’m sure I’d have loved them too if I’d ever had one.

@stmcgill @crimsonsky76 and I have my Series 7 still. It’s treasured, a piece of history 🙂

@scoffer @stmcgill You guys make me feel bad that I’ve never kept any of my old gadgets! Wish I had kept my Pocket LOOX.

@crimsonsky76 @stmcgill I’ve an Apple Newton 2000 too, the really big one.

@scoffer @crimsonsky76 I hated the Newton- far too big, but I can see the geek appeal. Got one from eBay and sold it 2 days later.

@stmcgill @crimsonsky76 me too, got it off eBay and somehow it’s stayed around

@scoffer @stmcgill Hee hee. Gavin must be in bed because I’m sure he’d need a trailer to hold all his old gadgets!

@crimsonsky76 @scoffer He is probably in bed next to his gadgets:):):)

@stmcgill @scoffer But remember that for Gavin, old is anything more than a week old! 😛

@crimsonsky76 @scoffer No, old is 2 days. A week is retro to Gavin. Gavin- wake up!

@stmcgill @scoffer ROTFL! He usually pops up like 4 or 5 a.m. your time which is still awake time here.
