I'll remember that this will be a source of downtime down the line when
he's less hands-on :)  (Currently a 9-month-old, and no strategy for
using downtime seems to suffice for more than a month before it is out
of date.)

Though for me, I think saving up for the sort of PDA one can run Linux
on sounds more to the point.  All my stuff is online; anything jotted
down on paper is non-canonical by default...

I've been here since 1990, or early 1991.  It's been many different lists
