Gosh, ya know in retrospect that was probably a dumb thing for me to sa=
y. It came from my memory of learning how to use my iPAQ when I would f=
requently run into situations where I believed the task being so much m=
ore sensible on the Palm. Such is frequently the case when learning tot=
ally new hardware/software. But since I started using ACT! and having f=
inally learned most of the in-n-outs of the iPAQ, those situations have=
 become so infrequent that I honestly can't remember what they were. If=
 I were to load some batteries back into my Palm and play with it a whi=
le perhaps I could remember what they were, but honestly I am really ha=
ppy with my iPAQ and see no reason to go back. Call it a learning curve=
, I guess.

Geoff,

What "intelligent features" do you miss?

 On the other hand, there are a several intelligent features in the Pal=

Off subject, but to further the conversation about client tracking and =

 ACT!, which I use for all my client scheduling and tracking. I keep my=
 mileage records, my accounts receivable and payable in a simple Excel =
spreadsheet which, due to the Windows OS of the pocket PC and the excel=
lent synchronization features, is available on both my PC and my iPaq. =
Scheduling is done through ACT! and email is through Outlook. Synchroni=
zations updates both the Outlook calendar and the iPAQ and syncs all th=
e spreadsheets as well.
