New tech for tecchies
Now here's something absolutely new that can replace that aging Palm or Treo you're carrying around: The Hipster PDA (that's for Parietal Disgorgement Aid) is the ultimate time-saver: a pile of 3x5 index cards and a clip. Really.
It scales brilliantly, degrades gracefully, supports optional categories and "beaming," and is configurable to an unlimited number of options. Best of all, the Hipster PDA fits into your hip pocket and costs practically nothing to purchase and maintain.
