If DIAD VI follows the pattern...

[oldupsman]

1. Are we looking at a DROID sized board? Or is the DIAD V here to stay...

2. Did the 1990 one come with a backpack?

Diad 1 didn't seem that big at the time. It was basically the size of our clipboards.

No. When I was first hired, we were using papyrus and sticks of charcoal.

High tech stuff.

That's the ultimate "going green" technology.

I remember when our center switched to Elmarko markers in 95 instead of china markers. That didn't last long...a $1500.00 a month expense

Just heavier and broke easy

No slate?

Nope.

Still way better than dipping our fingers in our @turdferguson and smearing it on our chests.

We had a driver who dropped and broke three in the first two weeks.


Good times.

The company actually tried to charge him for accidents.

That was when it really got funny.

It turned black in the constant sunlight situations.

It was tough to do cods when you couldn't see what you were typing was actually correct.

I'd love to know who designs/develops those things. As a tech nerd, I want that job!

Honeywell designed the V's.

Yes, 2011. Your area is just behind the curve.

No wonder the V is already so old fashioned.

Amazing how long UPS takes to roll out anything new. Orion is taking like 5 years to get across the county.













The future of the company concerns me.[/QUOTE]

jeez the diad 1 and 2 are humongous. I always thought it was pen/paper -> diad III.

 

[brownmonster]

DIAD 1 compared to paper was awesome. DIAD 5 is too slow between scans.

Have used them all; will be gone before VI arrives.

Didn't all deliveries back then require sigs?

They must have. I distinctly remember we had the same driver for my entire childhood, and every time we got a delivery he rang the bell and it required a signature. Pretty sure we weren't a no DR household. LOL. Maybe some packages were DR'ed and I just remember signing for ones that required. Who can remember. Come to think of it, I'm talking 25-30 years ago. I was probably signing a piece of paper. And later on DIAD1 when I got a little older
