This is really the primary use of these things, a easily portable
container for data we want to have with us. I do the same thing with
frogs on my Palm tungsten C (the one with a built in keyboard).
Pictures, calls, maps, copy of my recording database. Plus things like
my gas mileage spreadsheet.
When someone asks me about a frog, I can drag it out for show and tell.
And, of course the usual addresses, phone numbers, other random notes.
Shopping lists. And a few select games.
And the mysterious sync process does work for moving things back and
forth to my mac. As does the cheating way of just copying things
directly to a SD card and sticking that in the Palm.
It's earned the right to have a charge cord in my Ranger.
