Well, call me a 21st Century luddite. I have several laptops that I'm always using here and there, but the three things I carry around everywhere with me are: 1. Palm Vx (yeah, I know I know...but it just won't stop working!) 2. Nokia 8260, specially modded in Thailand with red LED's to match the car :-) (it's also old, but I like a phone that's just a phone, and it won't quit working either!) 3. A black Moleskine notebook, and I'm close to running out of pages for 2006 Honorable mention goes to my Staedtler drafting pens that lay down such a nice line of ink. And a Muvo MP3 player, though I haven't been using it very much lately. Let’s see, my 3 most important devices…
