Ha ha, good one. I had a Palm V and a Palm Zire. Both were very good devices. One of the best features was the instant-on and you're back in the app you were last using, after power-on. No booting period of even a few seconds. And of course, the Graffiti handwriting system (with the stylus) was great too. I even tried using Pippy, a port of Python to the Palm. Would have been great for writing small snippets of code on the go, at a restaurant, bus stop, train station, beach, etc. Unfortunately it was buggy and crashed a lot.


I still use Palm Graffiti as shorthand when playing Boggle.


TIL about Boggle. Seems like an interesting game, thanks. Must check it out.

For anyone else interested:
