Why Did I Download/Buy This?

Back in the fall of 2006, I was contemplating writing a novel for NaNoWriMo. I knew I would have to make use of every spare moment, but didn’t want to be lugging my laptop around everywhere. So I purchased this program so I could hand-write the novel into my PDA.

How Do I Use This?

I used this in a limited fashion for the first novel, but I find that I use it quite a bit for taking notes on the run. The pop up menus make Graffiti more usable, and I am able to enter information in much more quickly.
