Excited, I came home and pressed the hotsync button. I then opened up Excel, clicked on the Quicksheet menu and opened up my file. Unchanged from the morning.

I was confused. Where was all of the work I had done with Brooks? All of my careful notes, my calculations. I tried again. Nothing. Then I went to the handheld and opened up Quicksheet. Ah, there it was. All of my notes. Puzzled, I went to file, save. That seemed to do something. Though I had never had to save something on the Visor before. And when I pressed hotsync, there it was. All of my research, ready to go -- formatted and everything! One drawback to spreadsheets in general is that the Visor's screen resolution is small. I’ve been searching for a small (crunched) font option for applications such as this but have not yet found it.

But that's a minor quible.  One reason I started out with the Pilot 1000 way back is that it could collect my jumble of Post-its and make sense of my usually incomprehensible handwriting, on both my computer and handheld. In the past, I would come out of a meeting like that and have a pile of notes that I might not be able to read or make sense of. Thank you, Quicksheet!
