I bought a PDA this year - to use for calorie counting, which works great. Because I have it, I am synching it with Outlook, but my old Daytimer was actually more convenient. All I want from my cell phone is for the call to go through, and some hands-free features. And I'm wondering how much longer my PC at home will even be useful. I'm tired of trying of buying, updating, running and configuring all the software needed to ATTEMPT to keep my system safe, wondering what each update is going to break, trying to figure out why the system takes so long to boot up or shut down, what some of the mysterious messages mean, etc, etc, etc. I interact with my bank online as little as possible to limit my exposure. The old Quicken was much better than the newer versions - it gets increasingly harder to use with each update. I'm almost ready to chuck it all. I actually spent less time on household tasks when I used pencil and paper!
