Who are you and where are you from?

[roguetrooper]

Lets face it. Most of us Zaurus users are not your \"normal\" pda users. Especially those of us whom frequent this board. The Zaurus I purchased cost me $900 (far more than a Bluetooth/WiFi IPAQ 5550!) but I haven\'t regretted the purchase one bit - it is SUPERB (got it a few days ago!)

So here is an idea, lets tell each other where we are from and who we are and maybe our equipment - and I\'ll start.

I am 33, based Moscow Russia, but from London, I work here as an IT Project Manager for a large US Company. I have a PhD in Software Engineering (forgotten most of it!) and at work mainly use Windows HW/SW (ugh!! not outa choice)

I own an SL-C860 and 256MB CF Card at present, and run CACkO 1.21b
Mainly use my machine for MP3\'s and generally fooling around with Linux. Have an IP connection to my laptop (Dell C810 UXGA) and play around in a VT220 session via telnet, at the moment configuring apache and doing some php work on the Zaurus.

Thats it, anybody else?

Currently living in San Francisco.  I was born and raised in Southern California (Newport Beach, Lake Arrowhead respectively), but I\'ve lived in New Hampshire, Maine, and Florida (Miami).
I\'m 30 years old, an IT Project Manager with a specialty in the Supply Chain, for a very large company (Sarah Jessica Parker just signed on for the fall ads lineup).
I have a degree in Criminal Justice and almost went into law and politics.
When I\'m not working (too much), I\'m doing various things to support the ZUG (obviously), and for the local LUG I\'m involved in (BALUG).  I also go offroading once a month with a local group.  
I\'ve just recently started taking guitar lessons, because I seem to be always on a computer, either at work or home, so I thought I\'d pick up a creative hobby.

You can see the hardware I have from my sig... I don\'t use my 5500 very much anymore.  I use my 760 on a daily basis to keep track of my various projects, for work, ZUG, BALUG, etc., daily note taking at work with iqnotes, and the other basic stuff - web browsing, email, pim...
