Palm Pilot Pigeon
You're a pigeon person. Maybe you fly homers or rollers. Perhaps you show fancies. You're
a computer person, too. Otherwise you wouldn't be reading this, right? You use your
computer and the internet in conjunction with your hobby to access pigeon news, weather
forecasts, road maps and to email your pigeon buddies. Maybe you also use racing or loft
management software to keep track of your birds' performance, and health and breeding
records. Even if you aren't using specialized pigeon software, maybe you've designed your
own system using a spreadsheet like Microsoft Excel or a database program like Microsoft
Access. Basically, you're a high-tech, web-enabled, plugged in, twenty-first century
pigeon fancier.
Now all this computerization is great when you're at your desk, but what about when you
are out in the loft, on a training toss, at a show, at the racing clubhouse, or anywhere
else for that matter? Wouldn't it be great if you could carry all your race and show
schedules, pedigrees, health histories, breeding records, racing records and contacts in
your pocket? Well, I'm sure it's no surprise to you twenty-first century pigeon people
that you can do all of this. All you need is the right gadget. What gadget? The Palm, of
course.
