I've had my OGO for almost two weeks now, and thought I'd pass
on (in case anyone from HP is listening) some minor things that
would really make it more useful.

1, UNDO! It's happened many times that I've left the stylus to
rest on the screen (for a brief instant, while I recall how
to graffiti some letter), then I write the letter, thereby
inadvertently selecting most of a paragraph. Before I realize
what's happened, I type in the next letter, thereby erasing
the entire paragraph! A simple "last keystroke undo" feature
would be easy to implement, and extremely useful.

2, todo list categories. I keep a todo list of projects I'm working
on at work (it's very useful -- all my notes on the various
projects are right there in the todo list). I also have a list
of things that I need to do personally (not work-related). It
would be VERY nice if the todo list had categories so I could
say, "only show me the work-related items", or "just the personal
items". As it is, if I want to show my boss what's in my queue,
any personal items are mixed in there as well, and I don't think
he really wants to see those.

(Has anyone out there written a general replacement for the todo
list? I wouldn't mind seeing that...).

In other news, is there any way to customize the Home window? I'd
sure like to get rid of Demo, and wouldn't mind reshuffling things
so that the things I use the most often are all on the screen at
the same time. Also (and this might be even more fanciful), I'd like
to change some of the hot buttons (those buttons on the side of the
screen). I rarely use Calc and Financial, and don't need "Jotter"
there, with the Jotter already available as it's own button). I'd
sure like to replace "Financial" with Pocket Quicken.

I doubt this is possible, but I'm dreaming...

I suppose that's enough dreaming for one day...

In Christ,
Michael
