I can't encourage you enough to consider the palm pilot.  They are rela=
tively inexpensive.  After I lost my appt. book 5 years ago with all my=
 tuning appts and professional playing gigs,  I realized I had no backu=
p.  Fortunatlely a kind soul found the book and returned it.  But it ta=
ught me a lesson.
 
With the PP everything is backed up in about 10 seconds into your compu=
ter.  In addition there are tons or programs (many of them free) that y=
ou can add on.  One of the main ones is an automobile log.  Keeps track=
 of gas, milage, trips, what for.  Comes from teal point software  I al=
so have a a very inexpensive program from Mapopolis.com.  I can downloa=
d a map from most any county in USA.  The county maps are very accurate=
.  And you can even get driving directions from place to place.  It can=
 hook to a gps system, but I see no need to do that. I seldom use the p=
aper map or even my existing gps system anymore.
Go to your search engine or www.download.com and search for palm pilot =
software.  You'll be surprised.
Good Luck

Since you have a pocket PC, why don't you use the recording button on t=

his is what I do. The only thing left to do at night is to listen while=
 writing the info. It makes it easier for me.

I am gonna go and pick up a scheduling calendar book, and I just want t=
o know what you all use, and what you have liked and disliked over the =
years.
 
Do most of you schedule future appointments with the client before you =
leave, such as the six month tuning?  I also thought about getting some=
 cards printed to write the date of the next appointment on it, for the=
 client.  Kind of like what doctor and dentist offices use when they sc=
hedule your next visit.
 
Do I hear any suggestions here?
 
 
Thanks!
Matthew
