                     Entry from a Personal Data Assistant

So here I am, writing an entry using a Pocket PC (Personal Computer) to test
this out before Gregory arrives to [DELETED-kidnap-DELETED] pick me up. The
intent is so that I can make entries from the road.

Although I'm finding the keyboard on this thing very annoying. Typing letters
is okay, but any type of punctation short of the comma and period is highly
annoying , not to mention other non-punctuation symbols. It's taking me about
five times as long to use this Pocket PC to make an entry as it does with a
computer with any type of computer. The most annoying aspect is the virtual
keyboard one can bring up—a small window that has more or less a real layout
one can then tap using the stylus. But the second you use the actual (if very
small) keyboard on the device (which I find faster for letters) the virtual
keyboard goes away, which I don't want—I want the virtual keyboard to stick
around for the non-letter keys.

There may be a setting for this; I'll hunt around to see.
