Does anybody use a Palm organizer? I have a Palm VX with 8 mb of RAM. I'd like to win one with a memory stick. I hot synch with a Macintosh using a serial interface.



The Palm does a great job of holding all my logins and passwords, but not for sweeping. My solution for passwords at all those sites is to reuse the same one over and over again.

I use the Palm mostly for games. I also try to use the same sign in and password for everything that will let me. There are too many sites to start getting original!

I used a Palm V for a couple of years. I loved it... used it primarily for contact info and organizer, and if I was in a long line I'd browse through all the joke e-mails that folks had sent me.

But... my Palm died a violent death. While goofing around one day, my son inadvertantly whacked it off a counter, and it went flying across the room, right into the corner of a radiator.

Being the majorly geeky type, I explored other avenues and went with a different PDA. It's a Sharp Zaurus running Linux. I love this one too. It's got lots of memory, expansion slots, built-in thumbpad, wireless capabilites, and ... Linux. There are downsides though. It's heavier than my Palm was and the synch just isn't as good. The software isn't nearly as evolved as the stuff for the Palm either.

I enter all of the PDA giveaways, because I'd love to win a new one. My husband's Palm died a couple of months ago, and he truly can't live without his. (He's using a loaner now.) I'd also love a new one. There's nothing like leaving a teacher's meeting and beaming the notes and future appointments back and forth to each other. ;)

I hope you win one sweepy. Some of the new ones look mighty sweet.
