That's true. But the clipboard can't beep when you might have forgotten
about some important appointment when shearing a sheep, driving a
tractor or doing other interesting things... If you don't neeed the
reminder functionality then the clipboard is the winner I should agree.
If you had a days advance warning, the appointment should be in the
printout on
the clipboard. If it is an appointment that suddenly came up, you
should write
it on the clipboard. If you have an urgent appointment scheduled, you
shouldn't be up on the roof or driving the tractor. :)

When I am driving the tractor I cannot hear anything beep. Maybe I should
do a Hackaday project that would notify me. Air-raid sirens or eclipsing
the sun might get my notice.
When shearing sheep I don't want anything on me that is any more high tech
than the shears. The electric shears have a high-tech motor. The low-tech,
which are actually safer for the sheep, have not changed in design for
hundreds of years or more. Burgon & Ball have made them since 1730.

I have some nice aluminum clipboards that also have a compartment.
Portable writing desk, if you will. I'm going to try incorporating them
into a better method for keeping track of things. No beeping, though.
