They're more useful to me in a touch screen model, so I'd expect them to take off more with Windows 8, with those lines blurring. The offerings now--not as useful as half of what's on my phone, nor as integrated with the main applications.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wait--BusyCal is fifty bucks? I already have a to do list manager I'm attached to. Does it really have $45 worth of features to distinguish it from QuickCal, and $50 from iCal? I am expecting my shoes shined at that price point, or at the very least, some sort of server integration. Does it have that, at least?

My computer is very ill. It either shows a black screen or wants a boot disk. I am a bad person and never made one. I had interviews yesterday and today for something I'm writing, and all the information was on the computer. Fortunately, I have a netbook and a Carbonite backup. I would like to testify that the Carbonite annual fee is worth every dime.
Now I have to find out if the patient can be healed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
How long did it take to download?

There's a local computer repair place that has pretty good reviews. I'll find out.
