Palm Pilot & Piano Teching

[Mike McCoy]

Hello Dick,

  Yes, I have been using one for a year now and so far it is the only
thing keeping me organized. You are correct in your statement that
you are "protected" by backing up your Pilot to your PC, just be
aware the Pilot and it's IBM version "Workpad" only work on Windows
95. Should your batteries die (and I have not had that problem at
all), you just replace them and take it home to it's cradle and punch
the sync button and all your data is restored. The memopad, to-do
lists and reminder functions all work very well and it doesn't take
long at all to master the handwriting recognition. There are hundreds
of websites devoted to these things with additional software programs
you can download and install, most as a free trial. Make sure you get
the model with backlighting so you can play with it in a movie
theatre! If you're a gadget person at all you won't be disappointed.
