contacts and appointments are the entire reason for acquiring it. i used to carry a little monthly datebook and many business cards. but i couldn’t keep many months with me to remember what i had done and where i had been and the number of cards required a folio. i hotsynch with outlook daily and update the actual appointment timeframe (vs the planned).

converter converts metric <> imperial. i use it at least weekly.
timecopy i update the time on my laptop 2-3x weekly and this little gem updates my pp. my trusty timex now has a backup.

keyboard this beast came with a collapsable keyboard. i had seen this in operation and decided that when i could afford a pp i would get it. it came as part of a package deal with the pp (FREE).

documents to go i have several spreadsheets that i need to keep current and cannot always remember when i return to my leptop. as well there are documents i may need to work on when pulling out my laptop is either not an option or the pp is easier.

solfree, backgammon, sudoku free palm games that help to while away time as needed.

What you like/dislike about the Palm

what nine said plus screen is too easilty scratched and short battery life - i’m going to examine rechargables. i also find it a TAD large and weighty, but am willing live with that until my income improves to the point where i can afford more. however many of the new ones have TOO MANY BELLS AND WHISTLES for my liking.

How the Palm has changed your life (or how it helps you) in any way

what raspabalsa and nine have so eloquently said.

etc (anything else you wish to disclose)
