Way #1 — Live in Maryland
Maryland has, for years, been known as “The Fee State.” Well, now it’s January 3, 2008, and Maryland’s new sales tax is in effect — 6% now, instead of 5%, as well as a doubled cigarette tax! At least the ciggie tax doesn’t affect me. And, fortunately, we bought the [...]
There are several programs out there that will sync your PDA with Google Calendar, but most require that you use MSOutlook as an intermediary application — first updateting your PC, and then syncing the PDA calender to the PC. I wanted a completely independent solution.

For those with your own [...]
Well, after a much more realistic needs analysis, and a fair chunk of research, I decided to get the Dell PDA. Early this morning, I ordered the Dell Axim X51v.
Yes, it broke the heck out of the budget, because I had originally set a limit of $399MSRP. Nowadays, many items of this type sell for [...]

As mentioned previously, I’m considering the purchase of a PDA. While the idea of a $250 piece of software on a tiny little chip to keep track of the birds we’ve seen has sort of gone by the way-side (as Rob points out, “$250 (plus $275 [...]
