Now that I've had my IVDx for 2 weeks, I must say I can't figure out how I've survived so long without a PDA... It's just amazing how much more "organized" I've become.

There is a downside, though. Since I've come to rely heavily on my Visor, using it several times an hour, I find myself NOT being able to write normally anymore. I've always been a "printer", writing in all caps (from my architecture days). But in the past 2 weeks, my handwriting is not what it used to be... it looks more and more like Graffiti everyday... hence the GWS...

Graffiti Writing Syndrome

Now, I wonder, will my HMO cover this?

Oh no!!! I think I am suffering from the same thing! I bought a BVD about a month ago, use it for High School. I use Four.Zero for all my assignments (much better than DueYesterday), use memo pad to take notes, and even go so far as to use DiddleBug to draw diagrams. I use it constantly, hope the visor isn't classified as a addictive drug. Well, anyway, on my english essays and tests (anything that I can't use my visor on since it has to be turned in at the end of class) I sometimes write some graffiti T's, F's, done a few A's (easy to correct though), and sometimes write in all caps, however small, like lowercase! My teachers have said that my writting has improved substansially though! Oh well, just as long as I don't start writing graffiti K's !

I must admit I'm also suffering from GWS. I, too, write in all capital letters when printing and I've had the same problem. Sometimes it gets so bad I even forget how I'd normally write a particular letter. It also doesn't help matters any that I've been trying to figure out all the Graffiti letter shortcuts. Ah well, can't say I really mind, though.

I know what you mean. My Es when I print my name looks REALLY wierd now. Kinda like a backwards 3.

I'll start panicking when I write my Ks as a < ...

Would you please send it to me?
I can't seem to get into the site's URL for the download.

I've always written in cursive, so luckily I haven't been affected by GWS.
