Morning all.

Interesting post here from Kelly Forrister (one of David Allen's staff
who trains and blogs on GTD):

In my estimation, org-mode hits the spot on all of them.  :-)

Yes, except maybe the synch with portable devices.....  It is not so  
good at that.

Well, it does say synched to handheld *or* printed though ?  You can
easily print out sorted by contexts etc, or just the whole list.

I chose orgmode because it is so usable and syncable on _my_ portable device 
(good old zaurus).
Hits this spot, too!

Does that really work?  Emacs on such a device?  I'd love to try it.

I have a Zaurus, but I could never find a full emacs package to install,
only microemacs I think.  I'd be happy to give it a try. Last summer I
took my org files on holiday on my Zaurus and used vi to edit them!

I have a Zaurus 860 and emacs can be found here:

Obviously you must use the pdaXrom flavour.

Works surprisingly well.
