> If I carry one in my pants pocket will it pick up the other end of a conversation with the other end being as much as 8 feet away? I don't think so if it's normal conversation. You may be able to try some at the electronic stores, BB, CC, RS, ect. Some of the MP3 players are also voice recorders.

We don't have a cell phone, but Jott sure sounds handy! I keep a pen and some paper in my purse, along with the PDA that I don't use very often. Or else I write on the errand list I already have with me. I transfer the info to the proper place when I get home. For example, I might be listening to the radio, and want to visit a URL that was mentioned. So I jot it down, and put the note on my computer desk later. Many times, hubby comes home and tells me he didn't do something while at work because he forgot. (It's usually something like a quick personal phone call while another office is still open, or to remember to bring something home from the office, etc.) So I grab the phone and leave a message for him on voice mail, while he's standing right next to me. Otherwise, he'd just keep forgetting. And then I'd hear him complain again when he gets home. Someday, he might actually call himself to leave a reminder, but so far, I have to be the one who thinks to do it. I think it is all a matter of making new habits, and having a strategy to retain important information, so that it won't get lost in the shuffle of urgent-but-not-important everyday life.

People cash in on dead relatives all the time, but this sounds like it beats the Jacksons. But so many people want to "forgive and forget" and "take the high road" and he'll cash in on it. All for someone who's sole lifetime accomplishment has been to hit a ball with a stick and then chase it. That's something to idolize, isn't it? Even my dog would have *me* throw the ball before he'd chase it!
