You just have to ask

My memory is horrible. A teacher can ask me about installing some software and I’ll forget it by the time I walk out of the room to go get the software. I’ve tried carrying around a notepad but where’s the tech factor of that?

Several people that work in the main office have Dell Axim’s. I was at the main office building one day, sitting in my boss’ office, and just threw out “Hey, I could do my job a lot better if I had one of the new Axim’s.” Keep in mind that I said that half in jest and half in hope. Imagine my shock when he said, “Oh, you want one? Here, I have this one that nobody’s used yet.”!!!!!! What he handed me was a brand new, in the box, Dell Axim x50v. This baby is sweet.

The main specs:

Windows Mobile^TM 2003 Second Edition operating system
Intel® XScaleTM PXA270 Processor at 624MHz
3.7″ color TFT VGA display (640×480)
Integrated Intel® 2700G multimedia accelerator with 16MB video memory
Integrated 802.11b and Bluetooth^TM Wireless Technologies
64MB SDRAM and 128MB Intel StrataFlash® ROM
Integrated CompactFlash Type II and Secure Digital / SDIO Now! / MMC card slots
VGA-Out Support

Pocket Excel comes in handy to keep my schools, room numbers and request in order. Now, maybe, I will be a little more efficient in getting work orders finished because I’ll have all the info with me instead of having to log on to a PC somewhere.

All things are subject to interpretation. Whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth. -Nietzsche
