My main reason for getting the Palm was timekeeping. I downloaded two programs on a trial basis. One was really simple, which was what I was looking for. It was called SDS Time. But then I discovered it could only handle 24 tasks in one day.
Did I ever tell you how fractured my day can be, when I’m in the office.
The other program I tried and eventually paid for ($20) is just called Times. Although it is a smidgeon more complex than the SDS Time program, it allows an unlimited number of tasks in a day and does a little nicer reporting. I figure with my poor time-keeping skills, this little puppy will pay for itself in a few weeks, if not sooner.
Since I knew virtually nothing about these little guys, I think I should have bought one a little higher up on the food chain. I wanted color and that I got. Not so much for the color as black letters on a white background are the easiest to read. I’m finding that a little higher model would have allowed me to purchase more options. But I’ll learn with this guy. Already I’ve discovered that long battery life is not its virtue. At the end of the day, the battery is nearly drained. I’m going to get a charger so I can keep it humming all day long.
When I’m on the road, I likely won’t use it as much as my days tend to be more concentrated.
