Most use any palm operated hand held, you should get a simple "Zire" or higher on ebay for £50
If you want a proper lap top try the smallest in the world.

I don't know how you can call your spreadsheet "easier" than George.

You still have to put exactly the same information into it - but you don't very much out of it.

I'm talking about proper flexible scheduling, finance statements, mileage recording, expenses, proper Debt control, detailed reporting, automated backup, internet backup, PocketGeorge etc, etc.

There is a limit to what you can do with a spreadsheet. They are good at analysis but they are not designed to store & manipulate large amounts of data - that requires a database (like George).

I know it's cheaper than George - but so it should be  :)
