Always put your H/PC back in your pocket

The Handheld PC’s main strength is also a security weakness. It’s small and goes with you wherever you go. It easily slips in and out of your pocket, and can just as easily be left behind.

Of course, you can password protect your Handheld PC. And you definitely should back it up regularly. But you still loose valuable information if you leave it behind.

Your Handheld PC should be with you at all times, in a coat pocket, unless you’re at home or sitting down at your desk in the office. Then you should put it in the same place. At home, keep it in the same drawer or on the same table all the time. At work, connect it to an AC adapter and place it on your desk to the right of your computer keyboard. All other times, it should be in your hand or pocket. The key is that you should know where to look for it.

If you’re at a restaurant and have to look up a name in Contacts, put it back in your pocket immediately. If you’re in a phone booth and have to look up a number, put it back in your pocket immediately. The trick is to not set it down in an unusual place, and to always put it back in your pocket when you’re finished.
