James, wanted to leave my thanks as well for what I consider a tremendously helpful posting!

I read Marc Orchant’s post today about some disillusionment re: Vista, and wondered if you had any feelings about this with regards to the better handwriting recognition in Vista as compared to XP. I have some quirks that I would love to be able to train into the software; this has been an impediment to doing much inking with my Toshiba M205. I’m thinking about an X61 after reading so many great things about it, but I wonder whether I’m opening up a major can of worms since this would be the first Vista machine for our small office.

Nik, I just use FolderShare. It’s easy and once set up is automatic and near instant.

For syncing your OneNote notes between X61 and Fuji, do you rely on OneNote’s internal sync capabilities or do you let FolderShare take care of it?

I have the TomTom One XL and love it. I use the British voice also, I find it to be soothing in the car. My favorite part of the TomTom is the POI’s, if I have time to kill, I like to know what is around me and what I can do with my extra time!

I believe that FolderShare encrypts all transmissions. Good idea on the OneNote update.

Any info about security of info transported on foldershare? I don’t see that on the foldershare web site. Another great post James.

Maybe an update sometime about 10 things for new Onenote users to know and 10 things that experienced Onenote users might benefit from?

There’s no multibay slot so I don’t think you can add a 2nd hard drive.

James: Your “A day in the life” articles are my favourite also. In fact these articles have become a guide for me, helping me to move towards the ever-more-mobile ideal in my professioan life as well. Many thanks and looking forward to more!

I always compare my gear, software & processes with those blogged on the internet in an effort to improve mine. All of the details you listed allow everyone to understand both the what and why you do the things you do.

Thanks, JK!

Great writeup. I pulled away several nuggets of info on mobile productivity, I’m sure there is something for everyone to learn here.

I have the X60 tablet as well, with ThinkVantage A.C. running, and find that once you figure it out it can be quite powerful. Vista took a leap ahead of XP by allowing firewall settings to change depending on your network… but Access Connections allows you to automatically switch TCP/IP settings, default printer, firewall, file sharing, IE homepage, proxy settings, VPN, etc.

If you connect to different networks in different places, you will want to vary these settings according to what you need in each location, and Access Connections is awesome for that.

On the X61, how useful do you find the Thinkvantage Access Connections software?
We have an X60 tablet which has the Thankavntage software. Setting up Access Connections proved too complicated for me, and would have required more time than I could spare to make it work. In the end I disabled it (frustratingly difficult to do – I had to resort to using Autoruns to make sure it didn’t load at startup). However, one day when I have some time to spare I might try to get it working again.
