"The painful realization that the mistake was not that he built It wrong, but that he had built The Wrong It." So many engineering marvels that are just the wrong thing

Oh man, back in the late 90s early 2000 my dad had a palm pilot that I thought was the coolest thing. I begged for one, even made one out of legos to satisfy my want lol 😂 my parents somehow justified buying me one at 8 years old and I loved it. Played games, read books, huge introduction to gadgets

I remember these vividly. my parents sat on hold waiting to preorder the first Handspring Visor and my dad had the Palm III. I spent untold hours mastering the handwriting system. my family played games together in church. absolutely accelerated my childhood obsession with electronics.

I got a passion pilot as a gift in the early 2000s because I was obsessed with my dad's. I had so much fun with it. But, it was stolen and I never found out who took it :(

I had the Handspring Visor, which was awesome, but I later had a Windows Pocket PC phone and it felt revolutionary to have even a tiny bit of internet connection in my pocket.

What an era. Brings me back: I had my dad's old Palm III in high school, then later my own M100 with fold out keyboard. I still remember feeling anxious to unfold it and type in class when the rest of the kids were writing.
