So, do you mean that you did it in Graphiti? Or used a keyboard? I tried writing on my old Palm III, but I just never could get into it. It was faster for me to write longhand and transcribe. Even with the external keyboard. (Which I still have, if anybody wants one.)
Later I tried writing on my Archos PMA-604 media player. That worked a lot better, because I had a better keyboard and a small Linux-based word processor to work with. But even though I could carry keyboard and Archos and cables in my jacket or cargo pockets, it took enough longer to get set up to use it that it made more sense to use my Sony Picturebook laptop. My dream is totally virtual keyboarding -- no external motor activity required, I can do it while I'm walking or driving the car (scared, yet?), with a wearable computer.
