I bought the Sharp ZQ-5300M which is a stripped down wizard. One feature that
I found especially usefull was the three telephone directories. I have mine
setup as personal, business, and internal (company specific). The ability to cut and
paste, as well as edit scheduled dates is very nice, but I suspect CASIO has these
features as well.

I also have the organizer link. However, I use it to BACKUP my organizer
to my PC which I regularly backup. After entering all that data, I do not want
to re-enter it in case of loss or damage. I fully expect to 'toast' one of
these organizers in three years. It fits in my shirtpocket and goes everywhere.
Hence, the likelyhood of loss or damage. Another option is two organizers to
back each other up, but the link package is probably cheaper.

My own personal opinion is that both companies make good products. The decision of
which to choose depends entirely on your requirements, feelings and availability
of cash. I have not met anyone who has had a bad experience with them.
