[G & M]

Graham and I are thinking of buying George and we need some advice.

Which would be better in the van a laptop or pocket computer?
We were thinking of buying a secondhand laptop but before we do we want to hear what you people think.

Just get yourself a cheapo 2nd hand palm, install george and away you go, when you get home, sync it with your home pc and you're all done...I have always found a laptop a pain when working from a vech...I find the little palm I have just slips into the pocket and I forget it until I need it again and it starts up in seconds...not like most pc's.

Cheers
Dave.

Unfortunately, George won't run on a pocket pc.

We bought a really cheap second hand laptop which had Windows 98 on it and George runs perfectly. It's not a memory hungry program by any means.

Get George and a palm, sync it after work, job done.

Do you need a palmtop in the van? I just print off a daily worksheet and take that out with me.

G & M,

Just the basic, incase it gets damaged.

This would be fine

Vince,

The benefit is that you only need to enter the info once and sync it to computer.

Thats what I used to do as well.

But then I bought a cheap Palm off of ebay and I wouldn't be without Pocket George now!
