I am a former Axim user. I switched to a HP 1910. (short story is: The Ax was too big for me to keep with me all day). I was having problems with my Axim and entering data into it using block recognizer. After switching to the 1910 - I noticed the block recognizer is just as horrible. It appears that microsoft can't get the block recognizer to work well. I assumed with all the oodles of processing power that these PPC's had compared to a palm, it would be at least as good. I used my Palm V for over 3 years and entered most of my data onsite. I have to use scrap paper or take a note on the PPC and enter the data later.

Anyone else who uses block recognizer have the same issues I do? I would imagine ex-palm users who actually entered data away from their PC's would be inclined to use block recognizer.

And, if you've never used a Palms Graffiti - it is the exact same as using block recognizer. I could enter data as fast in my palm as using pen and paper.
