It's my girl (or guy for you of the female persuasion) Friday without
the cute smile ;-) remembers everything I've long since forgotten ;-)
That's the #1 reason I began with a newt so long ago. I just lost track
of time / meetings / things to be done.

In short, just like a real assistant or secretary of long ago days, it's
an extension of me that helps me to get things done.

ps a newton is not required to be wedded to the hardware, but it just is
because there doesn't seem any other place for it to be.
