Maybe not a fail: I haven't slept properly in three--count 'em, three--nights. My brain is not working optimally.

Hi!

Since I've now officially come out of lurking, I thought I'd introduce myself here. I'm a materials engineer by day, freelance fiction editor and wannabe writer by night. I use the Edge both for work and play and I'm getting more and more dependent on it. Which, in a way, isn't that good of a thing, but it only shows what a great device the Edge has turned out to be!

I purchased my Edge in May and have been checking this forum since -- and I really appreciate the wealth of information and the helpfulness of the posters! So, I look forward to continue with my (not-so-covert-anymore) visits here.

Hi (from a land down under). Sorry that just slipped out.

My name is Frans. Just starting the second half of my life(hopefully). Came to Australia by way of England, Belgium and Eire.

Been playing with computers since 1979, owned my first one(comex23) in 1983. Avoided the PC XT/AT era by using an Amiga(5 in fact). As an early techno geek I was and am interested in the hardware and its potential. This is what led me to find the edge some 7 or so months ago. I had designed an e-reader using e-ink technology 4 years ago but couldn't overcome the colour issue. When I saw the edge, DOH! In my defense Marvell had not released the Armada chip with the epd(electronic paper display) driver hardware.

Only got my red edge two weeks ago after lurking on the forum for months, so was excited and consequently disappointed and then delighted by the dingo(still finding good things) release.

Anyway, time to get back to education, for myself and how I can improve it.

SeeYa,
FJH...

Hi, I'm Grace

I've been lurking since back in the Google & MobileRead days. Just returned after vacation to see what was up with the Dingo release and am VERY happy to see Boris back!

I'm the office manager for a small literay nonprofit in Dallas, TX, and have been a true dilettante as concerns my eDGe. Tend to use it mostly for reading & web browsing, but also found it very helpful for a reading/discussion group I do for fun, as it let's me read & take notes on our mostlyy pdf material without killing so many trees (plus WAY easier to store since I hate to throw anything away). Hopefully I'll get around to taking advantage of more of it's features as I explore the Dingo release.

Look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with all you forum folks as I continue to be enlightened & entertained!

Hi all, Richard, Swedish male, working as a Sr IT professional and electronic engineer, loves toys, stuff, things, gizmos and gadgets ( you get it). Used my first slate at Comdex 2001 (Transmeta Crusoe powered A4 sized device).
Now using the eDGe in my daily job for document handling and note taking during meetings (and occasional tinkering).
Going to use the eDGe as only companion for a longer trip abroad now. just to see what it can do... Trouble is that the eDGe cant works as a GPS (YET) so i still need to take my Hacked PSP with GPS module to make that work.
