- Discovered an original Palm IIIx from 1999 while cleaning, hidden in a Franklin Covey Planner.
- The Palm IIIx runs on AAA batteries, has 4MB RAM, and a 160x160 resolution screen.
- Graffiti input method used for data entry, with characters drawn on a touch area.
- The device lacks modern connectivity like WiFi and originally synced via a serial port.
- Upgraded to a Palm IIIc later for its color, backlit screen, and rechargeable battery.
- Found the Palm IIIx's monochrome screen difficult to read in dim lighting.
- Shared nostalgic memories and related Palm devices in the comments section.
