Do you write on your PPC screen?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

I you write on your PPC screen you know both how useful the ability is
as well as how hard it is to "break" the "write on paper" habit.

With my PPC inches away, I will sometimes still grab paper and pencil to
jot a note or reminder.

Microsoft's OneNote team is trying to help break the paper habit... with
humor.

Thanks to another mvp for pointing out this site... take the time to
watch each scene a few times as there is more than one story in each.

But...
Paper doesn't need electricity
A paper reminder is there when I get in and haven't have time to turn on the
PC.
Paper doesn't crash :-)
I can leave paper notes around without worrying they are stolen.
I can take paper to the beach without the sand damaging it.
and...

I LOVE BOOKS :-)

Being used to the old Palm OS 3, I use Pocket PC's Block Recogniser
which is great but it does a V different to Palm, and writing a V is
very hard to do (you need to make the angle pretty sharp, which at speed
i often don't).
Palm was better, you simply did a backwards U. The other bugbear is that
it's too easy to draw a backwards diaginal line and set off the ENTER
command, which can send emails, save appointments and trigger all sorts
before I meant to do so!
