I'm getting to old to remember numbers and such! And I hate taking the time to write everything down. It's easier to type it and have the data on the Palm and a copy on the computer also.
Just wondering who here uses them. I like to tweak and play with any electronic gizmo.........
You know, I'd probably be more in favor of using a decent laptop with win2k and a touch screen display than a PDA or HPC, for the purpose of taking your contact list with you when travelling, etc... you can store a lot more stuff on it, it's faster, etc etc... and you can run genome on it! That's not the reason I'd want one though, seriously!
I got no need for one. Pen and paper work ust fine for me.
I did buy one for the wife on her birthday. She says it the best gift that she's ever gotten from me.
I actually seem to have better luck storing things in files on my computer than using paper.
Paper usually gets mistaken for trash and thrown out by mom, or it gets marked all over by my brothers and THEN thrown out by mom :/
I had a whole list of all my passwords, Windows CD keys, etc etc on a piece of paper and it got ripped up by my brothers and marked all over with black permanent marker. Mom mistook it for an otherwise blank piece of paper since virtually nothing else besides the permanent marker was visible
Strangely enough, candy wrappers and candy bar cardboard holder thingies NEVER get thrown away, ripped up, or marked on, so to test a theory, I wrote my win98se CD key on the cardboard holder thingie from a Caramello, threw it down in the space between my book shelf and my desk, and it has remained there ever since.
I've got a Casio Casiopeia running Win CE with a fantastic color display. It was between that and the Compaq iPaq for me and at the time the Casiopeia had a rebate running which made it about $150 less.
