Marx protests that while he uses his Palm religiously, he's not compulsive about it. He keeps it with him most of the time, he explains, because it's good for storing appointments and phone numbers and it's easier than walking around with scraps of paper. When he takes his daughter to her piano lessons, he'll sometimes pass the time reading news on his Palm.
To Palm or Not to Palm?

Andy Marx, head of an Internet consulting firm in
Los Angeles, would not call himself a Palm addict,
but his wife, Terry Press, would. She says, only
partly tongue-in-cheek, that her marriage hasn't
been the same since she "made the mistake" of
buying her husband a Palm V handheld personal
digital assistant last Christmas. "It's like a
GameBoy for 40-year-olds," says Press, head of
marketing at DreamWorks SKG. "He went insane
when he got it." Her biggest pet peeve is that Marx
will be "poking at that thing" while they're sitting
together in a restaurant or when their kids are trying
to get his attention.
