I have a computerized address book, schedule, calendar, clock, memo
pad, to-do list, time manager, language translator, calculator with
screen-tape, and so on.  It talks to my personal computer and to my
printer and can be copied to other computers of the same type.  It's
about as big as a paperback book and fits easily in my pocket.  I find
it infinitely more useful than these same functions on a non-portable
computer. It's made by Sharp and is called a Wizard.  

Who says computers can't do ``home'' stuff?  You just need the right
computer for the job!          -- Darren
