I briefly mentioned the use of a PDA on another thread, I thought it merited a thread of it's own.
Many folks have a PDA of some sort that they use to store telephone numbers and addresses, perhaps put in important dates, in general use it as an organizer. It can be used for a lot more. The type that I have can use external memory chips, SD are the format mine uses. These chips come in various sizes up to 2 gigs, I think 4 and 8 gigs are coming out now. Imagine the amount of information you can store on just one chip. I use mine to store copies of all my important documents, family pictures, manuals, books, music. Think about all the survival books and pamphlets that you've collected over the years, have them scanned and store them on a chip. All that information can be easily accessed from your small handheld PDA. You can even get a solar battery charger to keep it running.
This is not a replacement for your hard copies, this is a back up. Just another tool that you might find useful.
