Hi,
I USED to have a Compaq C120 WinCE1 device back in the late 90's. but when I moved to california in 97 it disappeared along with alot of other cool gadgets I had packed in a box marked 'electronics'. Oddly enough, it was the only box missing. Well, I filed the appropriate paperwork with the shipper, and needless to say, it's now almost ten years later, and I've all but given up hope of ever hearing anything from the shipper.
Ever since then, when I move, I've decided to mark my boxes containing gadgets with 'soiled undies and used rubbers'. So far so good. But I digress...
I used to love that little computer! I used it mainly for simple spreadsheets and word docs. It was small. I liked having a keyboard. And I really didn't need color. And the battery life was pretty good. Much better than my laptop. It did everything I needed it to. But alas, it's gone. I've since upraded to an Ipaq PocketPC 3600 series. yes, I was one of the first to buy one. And it's been great. I've upgraded the battery, expanded the memory and loaded tons of mp3s on it. It's a great little PDA and multimedia machine. Its been very reliable and a trusted friend since 2001. But I noticed that I dont do my budget on it, or do wordprocessing or write software.
(I used to love to program in BASIC
). Thats when I realized that while the ipaq is a much better machine for alot of stuff. it didnt really fill the need that my little c120 used to. I have a laptop, to do that stuff now, but it's big and bulky and has to 'boot up', etc. Just not the same. Anyway, to make a long story even longer, I decided to see if I could find one of these little c120's on ebay. And wouldnt ya know it, I found one for $15! Cool! So, as I sit here and wait for my c120 to show up, I was digging thru some old boxes and I found the cable and the CD for it. Woohoo! Now we're in business! Right now, you're probably asking yourself,
(if your still reading this
) "Is there a point to this excruciatingly long story?". yes, there is. I also found a bunch of old stuff I had downloaded for this machine. I don't really remember what it is. But I've put it online to share with everyone here. I happened upon this site while I was looking for info and software for my c120 when it gets here. This is a great site and resource for people like me that love their little c120 machines. I've been looking and there doesn't seem to be alot of stuff out there for these things so I was greatfull to find you guys. I just hope that maybe you guys will find something usesful in my old stuff. I've made it available on my server for you to pick thru. There's no fancy webpage or anything. Just a link to a directory on my hard drive. I leave my computer on all the time so it's always online. Please feel free to rummage around and let me know if there's anything useful, or interesting that you find there. I would just like to contribute what little I can to the software available for WinCE 1.0x. The link is...
