That's the way I've been doing it for a long time. However, the list has grown to over 1400 entries, and carrying around a notebook with a 64 page database has gotten tiresome. Not to mention that we print it on the Epson dot-matrix printer to save ink and expensive paper, and it takes a long long long time to print, and is not convenient to do often.
I was hoping to input the list into a handheld PDA of sorts and be able to access it and maybe hopefully, sort it by alphabet while out and about.
My friend Andrew said that it didn't have to have the capability of dealing with Word or Access, that I could save the Word or Access file as a txt file and transfer it to the PDA.
Edit: He also said I didn't have to use Outlook, (which I don't), but I could input my calendar and alarm entries manually myself, and they would still function like I would want them to.
I'm currently examining the Palmone Zire 31 handheld PDA, which Andrew says would handle my database problem as well as give me a to do list, a calendar, and a notepad, which are the other three things that matter to me. Photos and music don't really matter, so I'm not concerned about those.
Does anyone here use the Zire 31, and is it any good? Also is Graffitti hard to learn?
I also prefer a tiny keyboard as opposed to using the stylus, but I suspect I don't have the money to afford that.
Thanks for your input.
