Which programs to use?
The first things you wish to do may include:
• entering appointments, reminders, birthdays and lists
of things to do from your old diary or time planner into
the Agenda program. If you use a PC scheduler such as
Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Organizer, you can use PsiWin
to synchronize the information in your Psion and PC
schedules to keep them both up to date.
• entering names and addresses from your old address
book into the netBook’s Contacts address book. If you also
keep names and addresses in a PC scheduler, you can use
PsiWin to synchronize your Psion and PC address books so
that they are both kept up to date.
• setting a morning alarm in the Time program. The Time
program also includes a map of the world, and information
about cities, world times, and national and international
dialling codes.
• entering a ‘work to do list’. This is best entered as a
To-do list in Agenda. You will be able to see outstanding
tasks in the Day view, set alarms to remind you to do them
and cross out items when you’ve completed them.
You may also wish to:
• keep a meeting agenda or minutes as a memo or voice note
attached to the meeting’s entry in Agenda. You can then
retrieve the notes by finding the meeting entry.
• keep a record of expenses in the Sheet program. Here you
can search for items, add columns of numbers, or calculate
totals and tax.
• keep a Data file as a “knowledgebase” of notes about a
particular subject. You can keep track of references or
products as you find them, and include additional
information as attached “voice notes” or sketches.
