The ultimate 'gadget' for me would be one that will remember the thought I had about making a calendar reminder that I didn't... I know, I should try Siri... I just don't like talking to a 'robot', especially one that asks for more details! wallbash.gif

Speaking of Siri, can 'she' understand what "Just go away!" or "Never mind!" means? Thinking.gif Just because I pressed a certain button for a certain minimum amount of time does not mean I actually meant to!!!
