palm pilot

[MBrat70179@AOL.COM]

I use a Sony Clie (palm compatible)~$350.  Has great battery life and a lot 
of gizmos.  I like the color screen, I keep a few pics of my 1 year old.  
Many of my customers are interested in seeing him.  Its easy to transfer 
photos from my digital camcorder to my palm, because they are both Sony and 
the memory stick is universal for both.

A major drawback of the software is that it is not compatible with PTbiz.  I 
don't like keeping two separate databases.  I am seriously considering 
dumping PTbiz and do all my new work with Office or Act, which are both palm 
compatible.  Although I heard that some techs are creating a different 
database that can work with PTbiz.  If anyone out there does this I would be 
interested in knowing how.

A major plus is, I can do away with my schedule book.  And not to worry about 
losing information, because I update my computer everyday with the Hotsync 
crade.

Looking back, was it worth the expence.  I''ve only had it a few weeks, but 
if I need to find a phone number and I am away from home, I would lose money 
if I were not able to fill an opening on the fly.  I feel it will pay for 
itself in just months.  Plus, its really cool to play with.

PS. Again, if anyone is using PTbiz and a palm and have figured out how to 
relate the two, I am very interested.
