Someone with a blade wanted a tulip and only a tulip.

I suppose in retrospect it could have been a tulip admirer pilfering rather than a tulip antagonist purging.

Wonder if Trimble refers to Trimble Navigation, a pioneer in commercial GPS. An early Silicon Valley startup success story. Attended some of Charlie's talks in late 70s/early 80"s?

yep

It definitely does. I used to work there in the early 00's.


I'd recognize the font of that word even if the logo is significantly different now.

I think there is no question that your card is older. The iPAQ was introduced in 2000. My old MP# began 0025 and I got it in ~1993.

Not to humble brag but my old MP# started with 0001, from 1985, when I was 1 year old. I had it memorized by the time I was in my teens. In related news, even AA Advantage alpha numeric is ##UA###, so I have vestiges of United even in my other frequent flyer program footprint.

Yes, nice sequence of the passenger in the white shirt, until she is almost out of view. The UA tulip would have needed only one of those photos.
