In fact, the biggest problem with the new upgrade "superwizard" is the Qwerty keyboard (though it is big enough to be useful for real writing). However, as an organizer, the ABCD layout is perfect for one-handed typing. Try typing onehanded on standard qwerty. A real pain. Organizer in left hand, type with the right, it really makes a lot more sense then typing qwerty with one hand or putting the damn thing down on a desk to type. Much easier to enter data while driving (use one hand with wizard on passenger seat or use both hands and drive with knees :) ) or while walking. stephan meyers c/o sandin@uicbert.eecs.uic.edu
