Filofax or not.
Posted by: Mick P on 19 April 2005
Chaps
I have been persuaded to come out of retirement by a large company who wants to employ me for a few years.
The job will involve lots of meetings and appointments and I have always found the Filofax to be a brilliant personal organisor.
I bought mine in the very early 80's and the leather cover has developed a rather nice patina and I have become quite fond of it over the years.
I shall be spending most of my time in silicon valley and the high flyers tend to use electronic organisors.
I have the choice of continuing with the Filofax or I suppose I could pop out and buy one of these electronic gismos.
I must confess to liking the paper based Filofax because it is safe. I have an inbuilt fear of the circuits breaking down and losing all the information in the electronic ones but at the same time, I do not want to appear as a relic.
Do any of you chaps use these gismos and how would you rate them against the Filofax.
Regards
Mick

When you start your new job Our Mick, I trust you're not going to spend the whole day discussing filofaxes, pens, and coffee beans, that could well bamboozle your clients !!!

Mind you, even clients need education. I expect Mick will stick to non-offensive discussion topics though - like politics.
