“Wow”.
Just, “Wow”
So I was just organizing a few boxes that I hadn’t looked in for a few years and I found these inside.
Anyone else remember these? Maybe you were getting your groove on with the built in Media Players, or checking your email, or adding a new contact, or in the UX50′s case; taking photos and videos? Man, these things sure were pretty seet. So what do we have here (from Left to Right):
- Compaq iPaq 3835
- Compaq iPaq 3955
- Sony Clie PEG UX-50
- Sony Clie PEG TG-50
I remember these things so fondly. Both as a utilitarian tool and a source of entertainment, these devices brought joy, productivity, entertainment, contacts, and an occasional odd gaze way back when (2003 that is).
I found the power adaptors to them as well, and yes they still charge! What’s even better is that they still fire up and function. Although, it would be quite difficult to get them functional under today’s OSes, it’s still a fun little thing I’ll play around with to see if it’s still viable.
Hell, I might build an old Windows XP box just to see if it works. I know, I know XP’s not old. We’ll be think fondly about it soon enough as well.
