A Pocket PC Wedding
Posted by Jason Dunn in "THOUGHT" @ 02:20 PM
Those of you who were reading this site back in November & December will recall some discussion about me using a Pocket PC as part of my wedding. My decision was met with some disbelief, some encouragement, and of course the wonderfully inaccurate media reporting. Many of you asked for pictures, and I was going to publish one, but Hal from Pocket PC Magazine came up with a better idea: he put it in the magazine! Published on page 10 of the May 2002 issue, bottom right, is this photo. Yes, I really did it!

For those that are wondering, I carried two iPAQs, each freshly hard reset (no 3rd party software) with the wedding vows loaded into Pocket Word. Each was fully charged, but I thought it would be a bad "product demo" if the main device didn't turn on. So, like NASA, I had a backup. And before someone says it, the Pocket PC was used only for the wedding, not the honeymoon. :-)
