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.

It's been said, but I'd like to reiterate that the standard mini-keyboards are evil. Inefficient to type on to say the least. Fingers cramping up and all that. If inspiration strikes, pen and paper is much more likely to be practical and comfortable.
