The palm pilot is a nice toy (= Seriously, it depends on who you are. Some
people are very methodical and keep notes, dates, etc. I am the exact opposite.
I just bought a Sony VAIO laptop. Install was as easy as a desktop pc. No
complaints. Some people swear by Toshiba, others swear at them. The IBM
thinkpads can be ok, depends on the model (I personally hate their mice).
Just check the hardware before you buy.
