Dear Net,

I am about to go out and buy a CASIO SF7500 electronic diary.
(For Yuppies bored with their Filofaxes ;-) )

I have some questions regarding this product, perhaps someone out
there has one and can help me.

0) How is the product ? Are you "happy" with it ? Is it useful ?
would you recommend it ?

1) Is the CASIO SF7500 (on sale in Europe) the same as the CASIO BOSS
product ? What exactly is the CASIO BOSS ?

2) I realise that one can buy a(n expensive) cable to connect the SF 7500
to an IBM PC for backup of the data etc. I wonder if someone has the make-up
of the cable, I am sure that I can make one myself. I refuse to fork out 
about 90$ for parts worth about $10. 

3) The above $90 does include some SW to run on the PC for the backup. I
doubt that there is a UNIX version. Maybe there is one, perhaps someone
out there knows. Has anyone written some software for UNIX themselves ?

4) In order to do 3) above myself, I would need to know the dataformat
of the data out of and into the SF 7500, so that I can write a proggie
myself.

MAXINT Thanks to all of you,
Love,
Snoopy
