Show us the first thing you see in the morning.

What you see above is the HP 620Lx "palmtop computer," a relic of the days when Microsoft thought people wanted really, really small (yet still bulky) computers instead of true handheld convergence devices. It's the first nifty toy Entercom bought for me when I took the job as the "computer guy," back in the old Kelly building. It runs Windows CE 2.0, doesn't work with any current software because of the horizontal aspect, and it barely supports a few models of PCMCIA modem not to mention only a couple of network cards. (Wireless is right out.) With an $800 original price tag and another couple hundred bucks' worth of upgrades (ROM upgrade for the OS and the extended-life battery) it made for a somewhat valuable piece of equipment.
Nowadays I use its five possible alarm settings to get me out of bed at the appropriate time for whatever the day's plans entail. Oh, and sometimes I get to use the Pocket Excel spreadsheet I created to keep score in a game of Scrabble. Isn't that neat?
And yes: That's my fuzzy reflection you see in that fuzzy cameraphone image. It's not exactly Mirror Project, is it?
