I don't use a PDA, but I support a lot of people who do. To me, it is a good idea if you are apart from your computer for a long time, such as when travelling. You can sync your calendar for the day in the morning, for example, and then the rest of the day you can use your PDA to help you figure out what meeting to attend next. The flip side to that is when people completely depend on their PDAs for this purpose, and are completely lost without them.

I may like computers, but I am not a gadget person. Too many things to keep track of, pay for, and possibly become too dependent on. I don't even have a cell phone.
