Hi, 
I've got a memory like a sieve, so I figured I wanted a machine
to remember things, events, names etc. for me. Now there isn't a
Dynabook available yet and I can't carry my MAC SE/30 in my shirt
pocket :-)

However, I cannot do without a *proper* r.p.n. machine and simply
*HATE* to use brackets in anything, (except for comments like this :-)

So what do I go out and puchase, 28, 48, BOSS, ... ?

- It's got to know the time.
- It's got to beep.
- It's got to be small. 
   (Fit in a pocket / Wrist wallet)
- It's got to be alfa-numeric.
   (QWERTY ?)
- It's got to have *heaps* of space.
   (Some people call it RAM ... tsk, tsk.)
- It's got to have rpn.
   (Reversed Polish Notation, just to make sure )
- It's got to be able to manage a database of names or appointments.
   (1000+)
- It would be nice if it was expandable.
- It would be nice if it could talk to the outside world.
   (To read NEWS :-)

Any insights, opinions, sales information, do's and do-not's would be
much appreciated.
