A short introduction

Hi, my name is Oliver, I’m from Germany and I’ll try to contribute interesting stuff and insight at TamsPalm.
About me: I’m addicted to computers since I got my first own computer, a Sinclair ZX-81. During my career (VIC-20, C64, Amiga, Mac & PC) I started to focus on computers that can be carried around. In the late 80s I bought my first real handheld computer: A Casio PB-1000 (already equipped with a touch screen!). The following years I was always on a quest to find a handheld or a PDA that fitted my needs better than the one I was currently using…. And I had ‘em all: several DOS-Handhelds, some Newtons, some with Geos, almost all Psions, one Zaurus, some with WinCE and finally more than 30 Devices with PalmsOS. Today I have a constantly growing collection of more than 80 PDAs and Handhelds.
What to expect from me: I’m not into the race for the biggest, newest and fanciest PDA available. I always try to make the most out of the equipment I already have, so you probably won’t see a review for the next Tungsten or the next Treo from me. Instead, I will show you how to teach your old Palm new tricks, a few software reviews plus some stories from things you never knew existed in the vast realms of the Palm-Universe.
