For those of you with PDAs (I have a Visor Deluxe), what are your most indispensible programs? Store-bought, shareware, freeware, “other sources”. Mine are: (I listed the “official” URLs, but most can be found at [http://www.freewarepalm.com/](http://www.freewarepalm.com/) [ul] [li]Diddlebug, which allows you to scribble directly on the screen, if you don’t have time to jot it in grafitti. You can also use it as a drawing program.[/li]freeware at [http://blevins.simplenet.com/diddlebug/](http://blevins.simplenet.com/diddlebug/) [li]My Checkbook, why this wasn’t packaged with Palm is beyond me[/li]freeware at [http://www.thequickster.com/products/index.htm](http://www.thequickster.com/products/index.htm) [li]Silver Screen, which makes the display look pretty. Easy navigation, all sorts of info, customizable themes and icons, I love it![/li]get it at [http://www.pocketsensei.com/](http://www.pocketsensei.com/) [li]HackMaster, need I say more? Allows you to _really_ customize your PDA. Fonts, grafitti strokes, menus, etc…[/li]shareware at [http://www.daggerware.com/hackmstr.htm](http://www.daggerware.com/hackmstr.htm), “hacks” can be found at any download site. [/ul] What are your favorites? ---

:eek: You mean you don’t have [Vindigo](http://www.vindigo.com) yet?!? If you live anywhere near one of the twenty major cities this thing uses, then you’re in luck because it’s incredible. And best of all is that it’s free! :eek: I also really like **Autoslate** which helps me keep track of scheduled maintence for my car. I think you can find it at [Tucows](http://www.tucows.com). Hmmm, anything else? Nah, most everything else I’ve used has fallen by the wayside… ---

[AvantGo](http://www.avantgo.com/). I can use my idle time (especially time I spend on subways) to catch up on news and various articles. I also like to keep some type of an outliner program, like BrainForest. Good for making checklists, planning presentation outlines, managing projects, etc. ---

Vindigo does not have Honolulu! Damn, I knew I shouldn’t have moved here ☹ ---
