Some people had handheld “organisers” from Palm, Psion and other suppliers, but they synced with PCs. Home users did not have broadband, so email was collected via a dial-up modem. When this column started, in a previous century, most users only had one PC. I’m concerned that this is going to leave me with a mess of email addresses and accounts – an iCloud address for the phone, a Gmail address for the Chromebook, and the ongoing Windows account. My laptop needs are likely to diminish once I have finished my PhD, and will be mainly email, word processing and presentations. I use Outlook (from Office 365) to manage my email, contacts and calendar.īecause of the poor app support for the phone and Surface 2, I’m wondering about getting an iPhone and a Chromebook to replace the tablet and laptop. One advantage is that they all log on to a single Windows account with an Outlook email address. Over the past few years I have been using all Microsoft-oriented products: a Windows 10 laptop and desktop, a Windows phone (Lumia 950) and a Surface 2 (Windows RT) tablet.
