- Everyone should have my problems.
-
- For tax reasons I need to spend about $850 by the end of the end of
- the year, and I have decided I need :-) a palmtop. (PDA? Whatever.)
-
- I consider PC data exchange a necessity, so the cost of a
- "Connectivity Pack" or equivalent should be included.
-
- My primary use for this will be multiple-project management. With two
- jobs and multiple tasks at each job, I need something to remind me of
- impending milestones / deadlines.
-
- Next priority would be maintaining a list of contacts: Name, Company,
- Phone number, and freeform notes. Need to be able to search for
- things like "The guy in California with the laser".
-
- While I don't plan on playing Lacrosse with this thing in my pocket, I
- don't want to have to baby it, either. (Then again, perhaps I could
- project some game stats...)
-
- The Newton isn't out yet.
-
- I've played with the HP95, the Psion 3, and the OZ-9600.
-
- If you had to drop $850 on pocketable computer hardware in the next
- week-and-a-half, what would _you_ get? Where would you get it?
-
- Email or post; I read this group daily. I'll post my shopping list
- first thing next year.
