Wordless Wednesday

Gadget KidHe’s a gadget-lover, just like his mom.


Non-wordless note:

Recently, while attempting to sort through and reorganize our basement storage room (which I’m convinced is a never-ending project), I came across my old Palm m505 — my pre-laptop, pre-iPod gadget of choice. I had even purchased a keyboard for it so I could sit at Panera and pretend I had a laptop. It allowed me to answer emails, work on  writing projects, and track my calendar on the go. But after getting a laptop, I started using it less and less…and eventually it ended up in a box in the basement, forgotten.

When I found it a few weeks ago, I knew exactly what to do with it. I presented my 10-year-old with the Palm and keyboard that evening, and he was ecstatic. Like his mom, he loves to play with tech gadgets and he’s been having a blast with this one ever since.

    He showed me these the other night and was proud to own them. I didn’t know they actually worked. I’m a non-gadgeteer. Love, Mom

  8. It looks like the best find ever!! Way to go:-)

    Wow, we were so cool, eh? You know, these models sell for around $50 on ebay so C. should feel pretty lucky!

  10. Oh, what great fun for him! My sons inherited Grandpa’s old laptop, good only for games and some basic, non-essential word documents. You’d think he handed them a brand new laptop or notebook. Or whatever they’re calling them these days :)

    That’s so much fun!
    My husband set up an old manual typewriter, which our kids have been just WILD about, the weirdos.

  12. How fun!

    I like the little docking station thing.
