Most people's affairs aren't that complicated, and
if they can't organize themselves with a Daytimer, they won't
organize themselves with a Palm, either.

Yabbut - when I was using a daytimer I had to write down all my personal
appointments, THEN transfer them (manually input) to my Outlook calender;
conversely, I then had to transfer all my work meeting appointments into my
daytimer *by hand.* I can't tell you how many times I forgot to update one
or the other and scheduled conflicting appointments. With a PDA, I just
synch to Outlook and only enter my personal stuff ONCE (on either device).

I like the idea of not always being available for work. I work long
hours, and I don't want my leisure hours interrupted by something
that can wait.

This in reference to cell phones/pagers - hey, mine has an "Off" button and
I use it!
