Keyboard, no mouse: I have an IBM Trackpoint IV keyboard,
which means I don't have to move my hands from the keys
in order to use the pointer. Its pricey, but worth it.
I no longer take paper notes at meetings (except to diagram
or scribble) because my PDA has a nifty Stowaway keyboard,
which takes up a lot less space than those poor unfortunate
people who bring their laptops to meetings. I type a lot
faster than I can do PDA Graffiti, too.
