Katherine: Trust the Force Katie -- leave the dark side and get yourself a Palm Pilot! Seriously, it has been so integrated into my daily routine, that my self and several of my friends have bought another one as a back up. When I first bought it, all I wanted was a piece of blank unlined electronic scrap book that took no more space than my existing paper note book. But I've found that it does a lot more. Not only it keeps the phone numbers handy, I use it keep track of hours I've put into each project; it reminds me of all sorts of things from my friends' birthdays to checking up on a stock that 8 months ago I figured it should be coming about now; allows me to search for all sorts of information (like who do I know who is involved with company or technology X); let's me play chess or other little games in the subway; allows me to write random thoughts any time I want (no need to look for pen and paper) and then automagically organizes the notes for me (more like makes them retrieveable), Let's me access my email and important notes when I'm away from my computer,... Best of all, it does not force me to be an organized person before I can use it. For a journalist, it would be a most useful tool. Sun Tzu P.S.
