Doug, Dudley, anyone else:

Thanks for trying to explain. I'm sorry for the open-endedness of my
questions, but I'm not sure exactly what I am getting at yet. This concept
of Zoomers and Newtons and others like them is still too new.

I guess I am looking forward to the day when I am sitting somewhere and a
dynamite idea hits me. I reach for my notebook (Zoomer) to write it down.
When I get home, I download it into my PC (GeoWrite) and bring up the graphic
of my handwriting (no chance of it recognizing my scawl) to transcribe it
into type. Or...

I'm sitting at home and get a call from one of our customers wanting work
picked up. My wife is in their area so I send her a note via (Zoomer, using
What?) She is beeped, gets the message. My customers are happy. Or...

I'm always losing recipts for purchases. I pull out my checkbook (Zoomer)
and record what I buy, when I buy it, and how much I pay for it. I get home
and download this into (GeoQuicken?) and my accounts balance every month.
I'm happy. Or...

My wife sends me to the store to pick up a gallon of milk. I forget what she
wanted when I get there. I pull out my shopping list (Zoomer) and get all
our grocery purchases for the past month. Noting that we have not bought
milk for a week, I deduce that we must need milk........and some ice cream.
My wife is happy, very happy. Or......

We're on a mountain in a blinding snowstorm. We are holed up in a snowcave.
Things don't look good. I pull out my trusty GeoLocator (Zoomer), and I
send a message where we are, how we are doing, and what we want someone to do
about it. (please). My mother is happy.

I'll stop here, but I had fun thinking up these few uses.

As anyone can see, there are an infinite number of uses for a product like
this, and if the PC-Geos environment is as flexible and as it sounds, it
shouldn't be too long for some of these things to come to pass.
