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. Mike McCoy So.
