Picture this:</p> <ul> <li>A young military brat</li> <li>Eyes wide with wonder</li> <li>Flipping through the colossal pages of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Shopper_%28US_magazine%29">Computer Shopper</a> magazine</li> </ul> <p>Amidst the bulky desktops, the little palmtops sparkled like gems of possibility. Imagine taking your computer wherever you go!</p> <p>Enter my first tech flirtation: the Casio JD-5000. A business organiser in the hands of a kid who had, let&rsquo;s be honest, absolutely no business to organise. It&rsquo;s like a penguin at a salsa dance – charmingly out of its element, yet undeniably cool.</p>
