You'd think a girl like her should collect shoes, but Emily's
weakness is mobile devices. She'll drool over much more, but you'll
see her walking around with a Sony Clié TG50 and a Sony Ericsson
T616 phone, as well as her latest toy - the Sony VAIO U8G palmtop computer.
She was first driven to PDA forums to get help with using PDAs in her
medical training, but it's been five years of moderating PDA forums
now, and PDALive.com is her off-hours passion. Her life passion? She's
currently a neurology resident physician in Canada.

Gerry is a biochemistry student in San Francisco, California, on the path into the pharmacy field. He has been a Palm enthusiast ever since the day his older brother gave him his "useless" Palm Vx, has been playing around with Palm devices ever since, and was eager to get his hands on the Foleo the day it was announced.
All forms of storytelling captures his imagination from movies and books to webcomics and machinima, and he writes as a hobby. Blackjack and poker are also often on his mind
The coincidental timing of the announcement of the Foleo and an open call for writers allowed him to combine his love of writing with his love of gadgets. |

Macfixer has been taking
electronics apart and trying to reassemble them (using all of the screws)
since childhood. He has been using PDAs since the halcyon days of 1991,
when his parents bought him a 32k Casio Organizer to help him keep track
of his college homework assignments. A technician at heart, he works for
Apple Computer in Connecticut. He is married and has one kid, two cats
(and sometimes a fish). He still has leftover screws throughout the house.

Bob has
been involved with electronics for most of his life beginning in elementary
school and computers since the Atari 800. He retired in early 2004 from
a career in law enforcement communications and telecommunications training.
The retirement will allow him to spend a lot more time on his primary
hobby - photography. Bob's first PDA was a Casio Digital Diary with a
whopping 8 kilobytes of RAM. That was gradually upgraded over the years
to his current HP Jornada 720 handheld and HP iPaq HX4705. He has several cameras but his primary
camera is a Canon EOS-1D Mark II 8.2 megapixel digital single lens reflex.
