Dead palm pilot

[pegkerr]

My palm pilot died. Argh. I have the information backed up, mostly. Rob's going to check with the tech guys at the store to see if it's salvageable, but I think I'll have to get a new one. One thing I'm considering: should I get one with a mini keyboard and Windows capability, that does Word, so I can write on it during lunch and then download it when I get home? Would that be worth the extra money, because it would allow me to work during lunch, anywhere I like, or to whip out when I'm seized by inspiration at a coffeeshop--or more hassle than it's worth? (I do have a laptop, but I'm not into lugging it back and forth to work every day, much less keeping it secure.)

I need to decide whether I would effectively use the technology that way.

I find that I regularly use the calendar and the address book. I keep some information as Memos, but I regularly forget that they're there. I have never managed to use the To Do list.

I do use a program called Gulliver, which keeps track of travel plans. I do use the Zagat restaurant listings--something like 30 cities. And I like the Mille Bornes game.
