Get them their own!
In fact, I want our employees to have them more than the employees do; they'll
help improve communications all around our enterprise.
But if you're someone in a company where the IT guys drag their heels (and
I know they exist; my sister works for a company that only last week upgraded
her 386 portable), then perhaps this strategy would work:
Invite your IT guy to lunch. The local pizza joint will do. But be prepared--
use your Palm as many times during the lunch as possible. Show him the Palm
in action and all the cool things you're doing with it. Demonstrate how it's
improving your workflow and efficiency. IT guys aren't (usually) stupid;
sometimes their reluctance stems from their belief that you are wasting their
time or are "playing games." If they see the Palm is a letigitmate business
tool, you'll move up their priority list. And, if you get really lucky,
they'll get one themselves. Once that happens, you're "In like Flynn"--
Palm users often stick together and help each other out. They'll be finding
the solutions themselves and sharing them with you!
Just take a number...
PDA is not PDA
