Discuss: Has Your Pocket PC Ever Saved You Money?

I was sitting in on a presentation today and one of the concerns about adopting new equipment was (of course) will it either save money or make money? That got me to thinking about my Pocket PC. Sure it's saved me lots of time by keeping my tasks in order and you know what they say "time is money." But I started thinking that there are probably a lot of PPC Addicts who have saved some money using some tip or software package.
Do you fit into this category? Let us know how you've saved a lot of money or actually made money by using your PPC!!
C'mon, share the wealth!

Hmmmmm....saved me money....that's an interesting question.. I can say that I saved the cost of buying a new laptop by purchasing my Toshiba e805. I was ready to upgrade my Laptop for $2000 but instead I purchased the Toshiba which performs all the functions that I need when I travel offsite (offsite = home

) ..that's about a $1400 savings. (Well after all the extra gadgets that I purchased....let's say $1200 savings..

I no longer purchase refills for my Daytimer...approx $20 a year...
Other than that....the savings are non-monetary that can equate into dollars...I have never missed a deadline because I have a constant reminder on hand...which allows me to keep extending my contracts..(that would be making money, wouldn't it?)
I only read eBooks now ...which have mostly been free...(saving $15 - $20 a book..)
I sold all my Ipaq accessories and my Ipaq 3835 on eBay....netting $300..
I think I just realized....I'm an ADDICT... Are there support groups for this stuff...
