Having always had those credit card sized databanks I decided to invest in a hand held device with a lot more memory and power. The Palm M500 PDA offered a balance of good functionality and value.

A colour display wasn't important to me and the grey scale screen suites this device perfectly. The Palm OS is reliable and the almost infinite capacity to expand and adapt the selection of programs you use is a huge bonus. I don't know how I managed without it!

Using the infra red link to my mobile phone I can check my e-mails on the move and look at my favourite websites, via web clipping.

When bored you can always turn to a vast selection of games that are available from the web.

This package offers both quality, it looks and feels great, and value for money. The option to add new software to the existing package is wonderful. You can customise it to your needs, be it as a digital diary, or in my case my digital brain! You'll never need to use bits of paper again.
