The Palm Zire is their cheapest model at $100. You can find something even cheaper on eBay.
You also might want to consider getting a digital voice recorder.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

All is well that ends in pizza.
I can't afford $100 to replace a spiral notepad.
Any suggestions for the under $25 range would be more my budget.

Unfortunately a DVR is not what I have in mind. I'm wanting to replace the graphical nature of a notebook. I'm quite visually oriented.
Not that my inner geek doesn't want one of those. They also have their uses.

The past couple days, I'm having an impossible time downloading large files. Can anyone recommend a good download manager? I'm tired of dying halfway through.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can someone talk me through SMTP? My understanding of the protocol was that the email did not have to travel directly from sending server to destination server. However, reading I am doing right now seems to contradict that.
In that case, the security vulnerabilities of an exposed message lie just in the two servers, right? And there's no provision for a secure connection between the two within the protocol?

I think there's the possibility of authentication between the servers--I had to do that for my school's smtp server. And that can use SSL. But that's the only security I know for it.

Can someone talk me through SMTP?
Yes, I can.
My understanding of the protocol was that the email did not have to travel directly from sending server to destination server. However, reading I am doing right now seems to contradict that.
Most email messages will go through many SMTP servers to reach their destination. The Received: headers of any email message will show all the hops it takes.
The description you're reading is probably an idealized, Platonic concept of how email is supposed to work. The real world is never that simple.
In that case, the security vulnerabilities of an exposed message lie just in the two servers, right? And there's no provision for a secure connection between the two within the protocol?
There is absolutely, positively no guarantee of security in SMTP. Email messages can be easily intercepted, looked at, and even modified on the way to their destination.
The only practical way to get secure email is to encrypt the message from the client, using PGP or S/MIME, before it is sent.
[x-post edit] The SSL/Authentication thing that SA is talking about is used to authenticate a user to an SMTP server when a message is initially submitted. It is seldom used in the intermediate hops between SMTP servers
