Yeah, I had one of those back in the day. The real excitement was holding it up to the monitor and having it read the flashing lines. It wasn't too usefull, but then I don't keep contacts and appointments on my computer, especially back then.

I still have, and use, my Datalink. One of the reasons that I haven't yet switched to Win2k on my home PC is that the flashing-lines DLL doesn't work on 2k. They have a newer NT-compatible version of the flashing-lines software, but it requires a newer version of the watch to work.

But since I don't carry a cell phone or PDA, I really need/want to have instant access to a personal telephone number directory. So at the moment, my datalink is the only way I can do that easily.
