Con;
If you print out work sheet,anyone owes you money,printed in red,easy to see.But on the PDA,there is a dot front of the address,easy to miss.
Pro;
All the debts are together and in your hand so very easy to update when you receive payments cheques or FPS.

i use a pda
not very good to read in daylight?
i always print off the debt list anyway
its worth getting one it will save a lot of paper work
-
so what palm pocket computer do i get?
and is it easy to install pocket george on it?
im thinking it will save paper and ink and general faffing with 2 sets of things.
cheers guys

I stopped using mine for a while but have just started again.
I think they are great and save so much time.
One bit of advice buying a PDA, dont get a really old one with no backlight, they are hard to read in daylight.

I'm not sure they still make them with the palm o/s - I think HP bought out Palm.
After my first got stolen, I bought a ZIRE 71 off eBay, for around £10 to £15 pound, no problems at all, I even bought a spare one as a reserve - because I hated going back to jobsheets when my first one was lifted.
The Tungsten models are later version and are a little slimmer - for less than £20 you can't beat a palm ;D

just bought a palm tx from amazon.brand new with leather case.£195!money not a problem though. ;D ;D ;D
i wanted a brand new one with a case.hope it will last years!
ive no idea how to set these things up!
so when i get it do i download pocket george to my laptop then transfer data to PDA?then when i update at work just plug into laptop and HOTSYNC it and it updates george on laptop?
this will cut down on paper and ink a lot.to be honest im sick of having loads of paperwork in the van.messing about with 2 lots of stuff! ;D ;D ;D ;D
any advice would be welcome lads!
better get off to work now.busy day ahead! ;D ;D
best wishes

£195 on a palm, waste of money IMAO
instead save money to buy an xtreme25 and give us a good review ;)
