I\'m 36 and develop interfaces for a medical imaging company in Vancouver.  Prior to that I was a sys admin at a ski resort.  Use my 5600 as a laptop replacement when I\'m on the road.

Wow! Diverse group...

I\'m a 38yr old IT manager for a hospital in Wyoming.  Built my first computer (Sinclair Z80) from a kit I ordered out of Omni magazine in the 70\'s.   Been making a living with computers since the early 80\'s.  I actually went from CP/M directly to Unix and then went back to pick up Dos and Windoze along the way.

Still miss the old days of charater based Unix systems and batch file menus on Dos...

I currently have about 5 palm based devices doing things like being remote controls in the home theater and controling Winamp (the only fairly good use for a windows box IMHO).   I use a Kyocera 7135 Plam based smartphone as my pda.  Once you have a really good PDA combined with really good wireless service and internet access virtually anywhere - you never look back.

Have a 6k that I purchased instead of a $15k Fluke wireless meter.  Love Kismet - Still working on getting a satifactory packet sniffer to run.  Love VNC,  And there is just something cool about running a console session on a handheld device!

As far as other platforms - you name it - I run it...  First love is still Unix / Linux.

31y old guy from Poland. MBA in Warsaw University. I am about to finish project of restoration of 180y. old manor house outside of warsaw (www.esse.pl). I had to organize everything from scratch (there were no water, electricity, drunken guys in rooms who make fireplaces in old wooden floors. Roof was colapsing so -  very positive beginning)
It took 7 year of my life. Now I am feeling like ship ready to sail seven seas.
had 5500 now 760 with pdaxrom, 256Mb CF, WiFi Dlink 660, 128Mb SD
Greetings to everybody on ZUG.

32 yo, ex unix sysadmin currently in Sydney, Australia. Have recently returned to academia
to do another undergrad degree (mech eng). I\'ve had a 760 since they were released.
At first it was just a toy, but now it\'s an incredible workhorse that I use pretty much all day.
Cheers to all.

Curt, 31y/o, Milwaukee Metro Area
BS/MS in Atmospheric Science... somehow ended up as an IT consultant.  Hopefully getting out of consulting soon and into something permanent or in a totally different field.  What field???  I have nooooo idea.

I\'ve owned 12 different handhelds and have finally settled on a C760 now that my client has given us access to Palms for work related stuff.

Trying to get my C760 set up with Gaim, Kismet or similiar, QtSMS, and zSafe.  Afterwards, I\'m working on setting my C760 up to help with storm chasing activities.  Searching for a relatively cheap, wireless weather station to mount on my truck.

Hope to have time to contribute software back to the Z community.  On the list: OS X syncing software, builtin wifi sniffer into Network Applet, bug fixing stock PIM apps.

I\'ve run Linux (Redhat mostly) at home exclusively from \'97 til \'01.  Now I\'m almost completely switched over to OS X... except for my Z, of course, and a couple of VirtualPC virtual machines.
