In the "olden days" (as my son says), I used to run a mixed= system
(well beore org-mode days, mind you). =A0The best working scenario for
me was the following:

- every Sunday, I would go through my paper diary, a Filofax (tm), and
=A0transfer any new/changed items to my electronic version.
- I would then print off the next month's calendar in "week per tw= o
=A0pages" form compatible my Filofax.
- during the week, I would tend to work only on paper if I wasn't at =A0my desk but, even at the desk, I would update both paper and
=A0computer simultaneously with new/changed entries. =A0Any such entries =A0would be "ticked" on the paper so that I knew that I had alre= ady
=A0incorporated them into the computer version.

Eventually, I gave up and bought a Psion 3 (the original incarnation,
then a 3a and finally a 3mx) which I carried with me all the time! =A0My 3mx died early this century and I have been struggling ever since.
The Psion was absolutely fantastic, an example of engineering (both
hardware and software) at its best!

I now have org-mode which is fantastic in terms of the software end
(and in many ways is reminiscent of the Psion) but the hardware end is
lagging [1]. =A0I now use a combination of systems: desktop PCs at work
and home, netbook (Asus EEE) on the move with a Nokia internet tablet
(N810) for those times when the netbook is too inconvenient
(e.g. impromptu lunchtime meetings). =A0Everything is synchronised using git.

This all works well enough but I still would like a single pocketable
computer that I could use in all scenarios. =A0The Nokia's keyboard and=
screen are just a little too small, especially the keyboard. =A0I am
hopeful that a more usable system will come out this year as many
mobile internet devices [MID] and ultra-mobile PCs (UMPC) were
announced last year. =A0The UMID &co. look promising. =A0Maybe the
Pandora! =A0Possibly one of the Android phones but probably not.

I won't get an iPhone as I don't like the proprietary nature of the=
software [2]. =A0I want Linux or equivalent with org-mode!

HTH,
eric


Footnotes:
[1] =A0and this is *not* Carsten's fault ;-)

[2] =A0yes, the Psion ran proprietary software as well but, partly
=A0 =A0 because of being orphaned by them, I no longer am willing to end =A0 =A0 up beholden to a single company's system!
