Question
Can you suggest an electronic organizer that does not requie using a stylus?
Thanks

Answer
Most all of them rely on touchscreens, you can usually use your fingers, but it isn't quite as precise as the stylus will be. There are a number of UMPC devices (at a much higher price than PDAs) which run without a stylus to a degree, but expect 2-3x the price (granted they come with more processing power and features than a PDA). Another option would be the Asus Eee PC, while it is somewhat larger, its a full fledged sub-notebook.

Expertise

I have nearly two decades of experience in IT, computer repair, and related fields and will attempt to provide the most solid, brand-agnostic advice when it comes time to purchase a new computer, or upgrade an existing machine. I can answer anything from the seemingly basic to the downright complicated - and will do my best to provide this information in a clear and concise manner.

Experience

I have been an enthusiast of PC's for many years, and can answer questions about the purchase/use of a new computer or the purchase, installation, and use of upgrades for existing computers. There probably isn't a whole lot related to the home computer that I haven't seen over the years.
