If you are anything like me, you will have found that as you have got older - I know I am still only in my 30s - but I have got three children!!, you will have found that your memory will have gone. I find that I now have to keep a note of everything to ensure that I do not forget anything.

Usually in my small handbag I carry the following.

An address book which is now tatty and many of the friends have subsequently married or just moved since I started to fill it in as a teenager and each year you have to make a change in it.

A Diary - so busy with events in the childrens lives that pages are often full, pieces of paper attached and items crossed out.

A mobile phone - when I remember to charge it

A purse.

A note book - post this, buy that, shopping list, pay money in here, take money out of there. Pin number for this, pin number for that.

I walk along the street leaning to one side with the weight of it all. Fortunately I have a husband who decided to rectify the problem with the purchase this Christmas of a Digital Handheld computer which I can carry instead of all the diaries, notebooks, address books of old.

The PALM M105 is a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).

When you open the box you get:
A PDA,
Stylus
2 AAA batteries
Cdrom,
an easy to follow Instruction booklet
Cradle with a serial connector for your PC which again is easy to follow.

The PALM m105 has a display window where you read the data and input new data using the stylus.

There are various tools which you can use on your handheld computer.

GRAFFITI TOOL
You can enter information directly into the PDA by writing on the Display Screen with a stylus although for this you do need to learn a slightly different alphabet but this is easy enough to learn.

ADDRESS BOOK
If you have Microsoft Outlook you can download from this directly onto your PDA to save having to input all the data again and the instruction manula explains how to do this. However if you don't use Outlook you can input data direct into the PDA with your stylus or open the PALM software that comes with the PDA and enter information directly and transfer.

HOTSYNC
This utility backs up all the data on your PDA and downloads to the PC, which is great should you forget to put in new batteries and need to restore your data. You only get a minute to change teh batteries before memory is lost.

DATE BOOK
Fancy name for a diary. Will beep if you have an appointment.

NOTE PAD
Quick way to scribble down brief notes directly onto screen using the stylus. You canthen add the details later when you have more time.

MAIL
Connect you PDA to web, Hotsync your PDA and your email will be sitting on your PDA ready for replying to and tehn you can send when you reach your connector at the office.

OTHER STUFF
There is a Memo Pad, some games and system security software.

Still a novelty at the moment but if it is going to decrease the amount of paperwork I have lying around it has to be worth it. Still filling in address details as never actually got round to using Outlook but going away soon, so will have it with me.
