[Tfug] PDA non-usage

2. I use a PDA because it can be backed up and restored to a new unit when it's 
lost or damaged.  You can't do that with paper unless you're anal about 
xeroxing your notebook every night.

I once lost 3 weeks of billable time when I misplaced my DayTimer back in the 
days of paper PDAs.  I found the book a month later, buried in the couch 
cushions, and my clients were mostly understanding about the late billing, but 
for a while I was running on memory alone.  I've had a number of PDAs, and each 
time one fails, I just buy a new one and synch from my desktop computer to the 
PDA and I'm up and running in just a few hours with no lost data.  Can't do 
that with paper records that get lost or wet.
