I once wrote a (commercial) cross-disassembler for the Palm handheld. I made the 6502 version free, largely because that was the first CPU that went viral. And somewhere between 1972 and 1976, I switched my dream from astronaut to cybernaut.

Also, David Pogue fought valiantly to explain and promote Palm Computing (eg. "Piloting Palm"). Palm may be gone, but Jeff Hawkins is very much still relevant (Numenta, Thousand Brains Project).
