When traveling, I have a Manbag. This carries
everything I need (I dont carry a wallet) all my
credit cards, ID cards, business cards, and a main big
pocket for my Newton.
I carry it with me everywhere. I has every password
along with a history of every password I have ever
setup. It has all notes I've ever written and saved
since 1995. And I use it for all lists, especially
when grocery shopping. I have a horrible time
remembering things, and this Newton acts as a spare
brain!
