About me and about my passion for PDA's

About me
My name is Greg. I come from Poland. I am a student of Psychology. I work as an English teacher in secondary and high school. I am interested in Psychology, English, PPC's, movies, literature (Kerouac). I listen to Jazz, Acid Jazz and electronical music. I live in the fourth largest Polish city. In the future, I would like to study in England or the USA - either psychology (PhD) or English. I regard my digital interest as purely utilitarian. It's just a means not an end. But as was with English I got completely crazy with PDA's. I think they are an important rung on the ladder of human evolution.

How it all began
When I was a kid I was fascinated with electronics as all kids did. Unfortunately, I didn't have my own computer. No Spectrum, Commodore, Atari, Amiga, even 386. When I was given my first computer I was already 15 years old. But that's the different story. I liked window shopping, particularly in shops with electronics. It usually meant staring at various sorts of calculators. Among these, I was attracted to calculators with data entry possibilities. There were a few of them back then. When I was given my first one I started to change it into a newer model almost each year. These calculators had different names: Memory Bank Personal Organizer Business Organizer Digital Diary My own was called Citizen MB-155 and I also had the succeeding ones, namely, MB-260 and MB-270. Citizen MB-270 was really cool as it had as many as 3 lines of display (one for name, two for phones) :))) The previous models had only 2 lines. I was sharing the interest for these gadgets with my father and we both had once similar digital organizers. However, with the coming of mobile phone's phonebooks, he no longer needed it.On my 18th birthday I was given a really powerful business manager, the kind I was glaring at many times in shops. It wasn't the best but it had a HUGE screen (about 8 lines?) and plenty of memory (128KB as I remember) I lost it :( Then my passion ebbed a little as I had a PC. But when two years ago I went to work in London, I saw a man in the street with a palmtop. It aroused my forgotten passion. So all the money I earned was spent for the brand new HP IPAQ 5550 It was stolen this year. I won't describe the circumstances of the robbery (nightclub). It only revealed my stupidity and wastefulness. I am ashamed of myself. But, on the other hand I was made to buy the newest one again ;)
