My spouse and I both own Sharp personal organizers (ZQ5000) and love them.

Plusses include: qwerty keyboards with usable key size, layout, and
feedback; very readable screen, and nice software. The Sharps have
connection cables and software for MACs and PCs, as well as to each
other.

The ZQ7000 series has double-width screens (same size as the CASIO BOSS)
and larger sizes, the 5000 series has a nice small size and good screen,
the 2000 series is too small to use.

The Sharp prices are generally lower for the same *size* machine, as
compared to the Casio.

Prices:
ZQ2000: ~$80
5000:   ~$150-200
7000:   ~$250-350

Try them out! See if you can get one with a "no questions asked" money
back offer, and *USE* it for a coupla weeks. You'll either love it and
keep it for years or you'll find you never use it.

Good Luck!
