Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tsyr" data-source="post: 741374" data-attributes="member: 354">My and another DM were browsing around in an Office Max today... came across these little things called Cybiko Xtreme (Uggg... I hate "Xtreme" anything as a rule...). Basicly, they are sort of like little PDAs... They have all the usual features... note pad, journal, clocks, etcs. Full* qwerty keyboard too. The neat part is that they have a built in R/F system... and chat software. And it's fairly versitile at that... You can set up different "chat rooms" with the software, page different people directly, etc. They are sort of "aware"... when one of the systems moves into range of another, whoever is the registered user of that one gets added to a "pool" that you can check to send messages to, or they can join chat rooms, etc. Respectable range, too. Anyhow, they were marked 109.99.Ouch.But two of them were opened... store display units, we were told. They were marked down to 9.00 each. I kid you not. 9.00. Down from 109.99. We grabbed both of them and tore 'em open to test. They actualy work very well. They have a vibrate function so that pages aren't overly distracting, etc. Anyhow, That was all well in good... but one each? Not so usefull. They really weren't worth the 110 bucks, to us. So we checked on ebay. Turns out the little buggers can be had for ~20 on ebay. That's more like it. So our group is buying them. Each of the "major" members of our group is getting one, and we all chipped in on buying an extra for the "temp" players. We plan to use 'em to send messages back and forth... to ourselves and to the dms... as a sort of advanced note system. Without, you know, the tearing up of little wads of paper and all that. Silly? Maybe. Expensive? Well, more so than a pad of paper and a pencil, sure. But cool? Oh yeah.I realise there isn't a *whole* lot of point to this, but I thought I'd mention it.*not full sized, of course. But it has all the letters... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> It's not some alphabetical thing or something.</blockquote>
