[DM-MUG] PDA advice

[Matt W]

I've got a Newton 2000 for sale. I'm joking, of course. It is for sale 
though. I got it synced to my DotMac account before the end of last 
year using a nifty piece of software called NewtSync and a Keyspan USB 
adapter and then I got an iPod. I started to use the iPod more, and it 
is smaller, so the Newton has quietly fallen out of favor.

If you don't need data-entry on the run an iPod would work too but cost 
might be out of reach. You sync when at home. It even has a reminder. 
There really isn't a "perfect" Mac PDA, but a Palm-based device is 
probably the best.
