  1. PDA saves me money on Do People Really Use Their PDAs? · · Score: 1

    I have had a Visor since 2000 (upgraded to a Visor Edge this year) and have found it useful for the usual things - and ESSENTIAL for one thing.

    I have a spreadsheet on the Visor (mapped to a button) which has my entire planned budget for the month, and how much I've actually spent. By just spending a few extra seconds entering the expense each time I buy something, I always know EXACTLY what I can really afford and how much I've already spent.

    I never planned for this to be my #1 application but I would be a financial wreck without it. And I can't do it on paper because the spreadsheet updates itself instantly as I add purchases.

    It's already saved me far, far more money than the few hundred dollars it cost.

  2. Re:coincidence?? on Examining the Antikythera Mechanism · · Score: 1

    I'm not totally sure Western civilization was an improvement. I think the original inhabitants (the tiny fraction who are left) might agree. On the other hand, we wouldn't have Slashdot without Western civilization... hmmm. -R-
