[Update: Are they even called PDA's anymore? Pocket PC's, or are those just the windows CE ones? I haven't really looked at these in a long time, so I don't know much about them.]

Well, I am finding myself a bit over my head, organizationally, when it comes to the apartments and all the little things that need to be done. There are several small little tasks that I need to do. I keep them written down in a notebook, but, being me, I don't really look at the notebook too often, plus having the tasks scattered around on different pages doesn't work either. I tried using a spreadsheet on my computer, but I then have to remember to print out the list, prioritize it, and, most importantly, type the tasks in when I get home or get a phone call (wherever I may be).

So, I've decided to buckle down and buy myself a pda-type device. My initial thought would be to use this to justify purchasing a tablet pc, but I can't really afford it right now, especially since I just bought this laptop. So, I'm going to get a normal pda-style device. Now, I'm starting to compile the list of requirements I have for it, so I can start to refine my search. My timeframe for purchase is the beginning of January (hopefully I can get some sort of discount at an after-christmas sale).

I'm going to keep a list of requirements in this entry, so that I can keep track of what I want and need. This will make it a lot easier to choose one, as I can make sure that it satisfies all my needs, then get maybe the next higher model. :) I've still got to have a little geek fun.
