Yes, except backing up and restoring the treo was an painful affair.
My only computer was a laptop, and it had no flash drive to back up
to... Restoring the data only added contacts... I still needed to
manually extract pre-sets for the main phone page again.

I really like paper because the reading apparatus will likely never
become obsolete (in my lifetime... I guess once the sun dies we won't
read with reflected light so much)

I had a paper calendar/organizer a few years back. It filled up after
about a year, and it was really hard to expand for new years without
having to offload all my old data. It was a pain in the neck to back
up, and I couldn't move the data easily to other devices. Eventually,
the cover fell off so I stopped using it.

Now I keep all my stuff in a PDA. I back it up three different ways
so that even if the batteries die or I lose the thing, I can easily
replace it. I can transfer data to other devices easily and carry
every calendar entry and phone number from the last ten years, plus
hundreds of pages of reference material and personal information.

My phone is just a phone, though. =^>
