So, you see, it is like this. Tonight I heard a remark on the HIstory Channel’s Modern Marvels tonight that indicated the name Palm in reference to Palm Pilot PDAs, was an actual reference to the palm of a hand, since, they fit “in the palm of your hand”.
Why am I telling you this?
Because I owned one years ago – until it crashed, taking information on doctors, addresses, and worse yet, my Scrabble game with it. Withdrawal from Scrabble all those years haunted me all those years until I got it for my iPhone!
This entire time I NEVER associated the name “Palm” with the fact it fits “in the palm of your hand”!
Leon got a big laugh over that when it finally dawned on me years later. I won’t tell you (or Leon) that I always thought it strange they would name it for a tree….
