Nine years ago, I wrote the Publisher's Message for the premier issue of The HP Palmtop Paper. The excerpt below is still just as relevant today, once I replaced "HP 95LX" with "HP Palmtop".
"You belong to the exclusive, distinguished, international circle of HP Palmtop users. You run companies, manage business finances, fly planes, manage others' time and activities, restore health, perform engineering feats, consult, sell professionally, study, research or argue court cases, and perform the whole spectrum of professional activities . . . and you use the HP Palmtop.
You live throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe, and reside in Mexico, Japan, India, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, and in other Asian, African, and South American countries . . . and you take your HP Palmtop wherever you go.
You had the vision to comprehend the value of carrying a PC compatible computer in your pocket, and you blaze a trail for others. You are genuinely excited about this brilliantly engineered, compact Hewlett-Packard creation, and want to know how to put it to full use.
Our mission at The HP Palmtop Paper is to share with you possibilities for using the HP Palmtop - to provide you with new ways to profit from and enjoy your HP Palmtop. We do this by acting as the central hub where HP Palmtop users worldwide share knowledge and expertise. We organize that knowledge and disseminate it in the form of this newsletter and other related products and services.
We look forward to providing you with the valuable information that will enhance and enrich your everyday use of the HP Palmtop."
Although this is the last print issue, we will continue supporting Palmtop users in the same spirit described above at our www.PalmtopPaper.com Web site, only better. Yes, we will all miss having a print version of the publication. However, in truth, the Web site will allow us to do less and accomplish much more. We will continue to post the latest Palmtop news plus publish new useful reviews, profiles, and tips. In addition, references to past issues of The HP Palmtop Paper will be available for immediate access and search. (Expect to see a much more powerful search engine soon.) Furthermore, you can immediately download relevant files. Finally, you will be able to dialog with authors easily via email. And since our Ultimate Palmtop Store sponsors it, it is free!
See you online at the Web!
