Not yet 50 but pretty close.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

PDA in shul will still get you dirty looks, though.

I have an extremely memorable story about a siddur on PalmOS (sorry I don't recall which device, but it was before PalmOS phones, and the OS was probably called something else back then).

My first: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_m500_series
Was a Black Friday special.
Those were solid pieces.
I decided (way after it went out of style) to revive have fun with mine and add a whole bunch games and what not and I think I broke it in the process.
But again wrong thread  :)

Found a picture of some

I skipped those. Probably https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_V
My T3 was amazing for writing notes in hebrew. I have 2 looseleafs full of beautifully "typed" notes from there. The earlier ones were not as good for that.
