We're Palm Pilot fans here at Adler & Robin Books, Inc.  So we put together this page of ways to know when you've been using your Palm Pilot too long. Enjoy!

To main Adler & Robin Books page.

You and your spouse only "beam" message to each other.

You try to tap with your stylus on the bank's ATM machine.

You won't wear certain clothes because they don't have pockets for your Palm Pilot.

Your snail mail letters get returned because you write the addresses in Graffiti.

You own a gold Cross stylus, but only have pens bought in drugstores.

You don't carry pictures of your children in your wallet anymore. Instead, you only have grayscale images on your Palm to show friends and family.

You think web pages look better on the Palm than on a 19 inch monitor.

Waiting for your desktop computer to boot seems to take longer than it takes to brew a cup of coffee. (No, wait! Windows actually does take that long to boot!)

You are confused by any electronic device that has more than 7 buttons.

You no longer own any ink pens at all.

You take up new hobbies and interests just because there are Palm programs for those activities.

You want to shake sense into friends and co-workers who own Windows CE machines.

You play two-Palm Pong.

You reset your desktop monitor from high color to grayscale.

You attempt to put the sum of the world's knowledge on your Palm Pilot...because you can.

You can hear your Palm's alarm in a loud, crowded subway station, from inside your briefcase.

You covet more meetings just so you can enter them in your Pam Pilot.

You've cancelled all your newspaper and magazine subscriptions, replacing them with what's on Avantgo.

You read about the Microsoft antitrust case and think, "What's all the fuss about? Windows is old technology."
