Well worth the couple/few hundreds. PPC I have no experience in and don't care to have either... I still have a strictly work todo list with Task coach http://members.chello.nl/f.niessink/index.html which is not perfect but small & well done. If Mozilla extension Quicknote had possibility to use remote files or syncing it would be my first choice for computer based todolist. Another me too for a Palm. Well worth the couple/few hundreds.

Seriously, it was the best decision I ever made. Go with a Tungsten E2 and you don't have to pay more than $200. Since I bought my Tungsten E two years ago, I feel so much more free, I didn't loose an important note since or missed a meeting. Everything is always at the same place and it's so easy to just grab into your pocket, push a button and start writing. It's a lot easier than using a PC for sure, but you can still use one and sync it with your Palm, it just takes one click. I may sound like a Palm fanboy, but it really is great, the only thing I'm missing is sound recording, but you can have that with the Tungsten T, I'm using my mobile for that. You may also use a Pocket PC, but I don't know much about them, since I'm a happy Palm user. Rory, get yourself a Palm. Seriously, it was the best decision I ever made.

It didn't work. I now have several wiki installations. One each on on my Web host, my laptop, my machine in college, and my home desktop. I have one of another type (not Mediawiki) on a server in college, used by a group of people. I have two of those little single-HTML-page wikis, but I can't remember what machine's they're on. I still have a whole bunch of text files, most of them todo lists. I also leave notes to myself by emailing them to one of my email accounts (Gmail or my own domain) or by saving them in my SMS outbox, or as notes on my phone. And my desks (home and college) have paper all over them. Finally, for things that I can't afford to miss, I use post-it notes widgets on my laptop (OS X) and college desktop (Gnome). I guess the point is that there's a good chance you've just added to the number of ways you keep data, rather than solidifying it into one unified method. I came up with the same solution myself.
