Note that the newer Palm units allow alarms on ToDos. I think the Datebook you have on the Visor is a smaller version of DB5 that CESD wrote for Handspring. If you want something like that on a PPC, look at Pocket Informant or Agenda Fusion.

I'm using PPC and Palm side-by-side. My major complaint with PPC is that untimed alarms go off at 8 am and so far, I haven't found any way to change that. (I'm usually asleep at 8am.) So I try to make sure my HP4155 is NOT on my nightstand when I go to bed. (Forgot to move it last night and it woke me up this morning :evil: Funny - most of the time I can't even HEAR my 4155 go off but at 8am, it sounds like a freight train is going thru my bedroom.)
