Confessions of an Axim User

[mcgnarl]

What would I do, my beautiful Blue?
I'm glad that you're here, stuck to me like glue.

You keep me in on track by scheduling tasks,
Oh how many times you've saved my ass!

My beautiful Blue, if not for your looks,
then how 'bout your ability to show me eBooks?

I can't begin to explain how I feel so alive,
how I float on air when I'm with my X5.

Gather 'round and I'll tell you a story. A story of tragedy. A story of triumph. A story of hope.

There once was a young man who bought a compaq ipaq back in 2000. He loved that ipaq. He used it for work. He used it for play. He showed if off to everybody he could. That ipaq became like a part of the family. Over time, this little ipaq started to grow tired. It grew tired of going everywhere with his young owner. Eventually, while doing it's dutiful task of playing mp3s at the gym, the ipaq lept from the stationary bike ... falling to it's death.

The young man was heartbroken. He was lost without his trusty pocket pc. His work suffered. His playtime suffered. His workouts at the gym ... suffered.

Finally, a coworker showed the young man the marvel of the dell axim x5 with the built-in CF and SD slots. The young man was elated! He rushed to the computer to scour ebay for just the right one. He bid on one ... lost. He bid on another ... lost. He bid on yet another ... success! In 3-4 business days, our young man had a new family member.

That little Axim has already helped the young man over the loss of his first pocket pc. And now, the young man is determined to get a protective aluminum case for his little Axim ... to ensure it never gets hurt at the gym.

Contest registration paragraph:
My Dell X3i will enable me not only to work directly in the office with meetings, short presentations and my recruiting but will also allow for direct editing of potential candiate files on the road. During outside interviews and job fairs, the smaller handheld device will allow for much easier interaction without a large screen between myself and the candidate with ease of download to the office files. The possibilities of fast transport of pertinent information in order to make a quick grab of an excellent candidate will be made possible by the included Wi-Fi and will also support web enhanced searches of online resume's. The only issue with all the travel, use and environment in which the work will be conducted is the ensurance of uninterrupted use which will be made possible by the toughest case on the market, the Rhino Skin. The Rhino Skin will make the X3i the best in mobile business solutions with an impervious shell to protect the value of uninterrupted time, in a time dependent position.

Write a short essay (a few sentences to a few paragraphs) on how you plan on using your Axim this year to help you get done what you need getting done!

My wife and I just had our first baby (Samuel Douglas) on Jan. 21st so our lives have changed dramatically. I am working full-time while going to school AND watching Sam during the day. My wife is a high school german teacher and the varsity cheerleading coach at her school. As you might be able to tell, our lives are going to be VERY busy this year!

That is where my Axim X5 comes in.

On the fun side, I've already loaded pictures and encoded video of my new boy to show friends. The NES emulator has come in handy as well. :-) Practically, the calendar, reminder, tasks, and notes functions will be working overtime for me this year!

Long story short, my Axim will be a lifeline for me this year. Keeping everything organized and in one spot is vital in order for me to attain a semi-sane lifestyle!

So, that's how I'm planning on using my Axim this year. Hopefully my "essay" isn't too late!

Thanks a lot
