Sweet Technology
« on: February 10, 2004, 11:17:57 PM »
So I swore to myself that I'd never buy a PDA (personal digital assistent, not public display of affection...though the comment stands for both).   I never use a planner, my address book is in my phone...why do I need one?

But I just bought one.

After seeing how useful they are in clinic, about half my class took advantage of the deals as old models are being cleared out for new.  I got a Sony CLIE SJ-xxxx22 and it just arrived in the mail today.  

Now I can look up any drug I don't know in less than thirty seconds and immediately know its contraindications, interactions, and proper dosage.  Not sure how to treat a disease? I can look that up in a split second too.

And let's not even get into the cool ways it can be used for gaming!

So I broke my vow.  I own a PDA.  I am a geek so many times over that its not even funny.

As a science-fiction writer, I feel absolutely no guilt at purchasing any and every nifty gadget I can find.  They, uh, help me with research.  

Now if I could only convince the government that they should be deductible....
