To PDA or Not to PDA?
Over the last 8-10 years, I've had several brushes with PDA-land. I've owned a Newton; still have a Palm organizer with the brand "Pilot" written on it; after a long period of non-use, just bequeathed a Palm VII (with wireless connectivity) to my wife; and about a year ago, spent several months using an iPaq and then stopped.
It's like I wantto use a PDA. I understand the power of the technology. I needto be more organized. But...everytime I start with one, it gets loaded with info, sync'd religiously, and then lapses into less and less actual use. There are a lot of moving parts in my life right now -- family, work, blog, other hobbies (notice the order...) -- so I'm trying once more. This morning I dug out the iPaq 3600 and I'm syncing it right now. I've ordered the PocketPC 2002 upgrade. I'll install that, although I'm betting this 1.5 - 2 year old iPaq is a little underpowered. We'll see.
For someone who actually enjoys using technology and feels it does improve my life, this whole PDA thing just never worked out for me. Maybe this time. Or maybe I'm just not an electronic organizer kind of guy. I'll try to keep you posted.
