I've been really interested in the whole idea of using index cards for GTD. I've actually read about several systems that use index cards for organization. There's the Sidetracked Sisters Happiness File (which I actually did many years ago when we lived in the bus. I used the address part of it for years.) And, in Write It Down, Make It Happen, there's a story about another person who uses index cards. So I've found these pictures interesting: pix Interesting enough that I picked up some index dividers (A-Z, 1-31, Jan-Dec) and set up a tickler file. And I have plans to use this in my goal setting for next year. I've been working on that, but haven't really gotten things squared away. I don't intend to get rid of my Palm any time soon. I use it for MP3s and taking photos. And I may still use it for planning. I just need a break from all this stuff and need to get back to the "doing" part.
I've been trying to decide whether I want to upgrade my computer to a PC or stick with Macs. It won't happen any time soon, but I know that I need to do something in the next year, as this G3 just doesn't cut it. I'd like to upgrade the OS and can't do it without putting some money into it. Saw a very nice Powerbook at work and am thinking seriously about an iBook. I know I could get a PC cheaper. Every time I think about all the anti-virus, anti-spyware stuff you need with a PC, I lose interest. And I've used lots of versions of Linux and haven't found one yet that I really like. So we'll see. Spacewise, a laptop would give me more room on this tiny desk.

Hello,

I suggest that you stick with a Mac. OS X is great and the software apps for mac are growing bigger each day...along with the option of using UNIX/Linux or even VPC on one laptop. The iBook is probably your best best as far as pricing goes. Also the ibook seems to be a bit tougher compared to a PowerBook and one is less apprehensive about traveling with it in a soft backpack. I have a PowerBook G4 and I have to baby it in a protective sleeve and Axio hardpack when I travel. My wife usually throws her iBook in a large carry purse and it's no worse the wear so far in it's travels! ;)
