[grin] Can't think of too many places where it's not used that way. I've
got a conference reporter at the Linux Gazette who seems to be genetically

I *LIKE*. Thank you, Jim - that sounds perfect for my way of operating.
I also like the idea of prioritizing without marking anything or having
to keep a mental index.
I'm sure I'll be refining it - maybe a multi-color pen to denote stuff
to buy vs. stuff to do, etc. - but this is a great start.
