yea, stay away from pda style writing. i cant stand how slow i write on paper, anyslower is unbearable for anything of length. as for surfing the net while writing on a pocket pc... not so well either on such a small screen. yu can always use the little snap on keyboards for pdas.
i guess u could scan your notebook, maybe ocr or.. just leave as an image hehe. then u can doodle and stuff too! ever see curt cobains journal? its interesting because its hand written, doodles and everything. the freedom you don't have on a pda.
