Advantages It is everything that you need to be organised in life if you cannot afford a Secretary
Disadvantages Changing the battery is a trifle troublesome, you need to do it within one minute.
Remember the old Address Book that sat next to the telephone in the sitting room?
Remember your personal Diary?Remember the Filofax that you could not be without?
Remember all the Business Cards filling your Wallet or Purse?Remember all those forgotten appointments!
In the past we used a variety of books, bits of paper, folders, address books, diaries etc. We then were able to locate all of this information within our Personal Organisers. At that point we all became Yuppies (Young upwardly mobile!) or in my case a Dinky (Double Income no kids) and we were pleased with ourselves in the absolute surety that life could continue as long as we had the Filofax. That is until you left it on the train or bus one day!
Recent additions to the Mobile Organisers are Digital Handheldcomputers. Working in IT I have always regarded these tiny machines with suspicion that is until I played with one that a colleague had. Enlightenment is a wonderful thing and for the past 4 weeks I have had my Personal Digital Assistant sitting in its cradle attached to my computers.Let me explain:
The PALM M105 is a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), which is targeted at the middle price market, it costs £149.99. When you open the box you get:A PDA,
Stylus
Battery,
Cdrom,
Instruction booklet
Cradle with a serial connector for your PC.
The machine is easy to configure and the instruction booklet is straight forward, as does the Software Installation on your PC or PC’s.
~~ BRIEF OVERVIEW OF COMPONENTS~~ KEYBOARD DISPLAY
The unit has a full QWERTY keyboard display that can be used when entering information straight to the PA.
~~ ADDRESS BOOK
The instruction book details how to export your current email addresses from your Mail Software (I use Outlook Express) to your PDA. You can also enter new addresses using the stylus on either the PDA keyboard or by using the Graffiti tool. What’s more you can open the PALM software on your PC and enter the data directly.
