Episode 130 of You Don’t Know Flack covers pagers, PDAs, and cell phones. In this episode I talk about the first pager I owned and why I wanted one, the first PDA I owned (the Palm Pilot III), and a few of the cell phones I’ve owned over the years (starting with the Star-Tac). I also tell the story about the time I almost got killed, and how I wish I had owned a cell phone that night.
Due to my current crazy work schedule (which now occasionally includes traveling on the weekends) I missed a week of You Don’t Know Flack. I’ll be working overtime this week to squeeze a bonus episode into the timeline to make the numbers right again.
This episode of You Don’t Know Flack was sponsored by VintageVolts.com. I love it when a sponsor and a show topic come together like this. Vintage Volts is all about retro electronics, from computers to pinball machines, arcade cabinets, and all sorts of things. Pretty much if it’s old and plugs into the wall, Vintage Volts has discussed it. I spent a couple of hours going through all of the posts on the Vintage Volts site over the weekend and there’s some great information posted over there.
