I am writing this submission from my PDA while sitting in a lecture hall waiting for class to start. When I get home I will plug it into my computer, and the e-mail will be sent. It’s an older model, too — the newer ones are wireless and could send it as soon as I hit the ‘send’ button.
I’ve been seeing more and more articles on them lately and wish to add my own testimony to the lot. I’ve grown so dependent on my Palm Pilot I wonder sometimes how long I would last without it. I’m always finding new uses for it. You can find software to do almost anything from the program I recently bought (Handmark’s 4.0 Student) to keep track of my assignments and grades throughout the term. It has games that keep me occupied when I have nothing else to do — like Mahjongg, Tetris, SimCity and many others. It also does everything you’d expect an organizer to do and keeps everything synchronized with my computer at home.
PDAs are a lifesaver for anyone with busy schedules and lots to remember. I highly recommend them to students here at Ohio State.
