This is exactly why I don't post often in here. It seems like every idea I have that I try to submit to some of the brilliant and not so brilliant minds here, not only do I get shot down, but I get shot down disrespectfully. Not that everyone does it, but many do. Not once did I even come close to being anywhere near mentioning having the onscreen buddy be any type of "playmate" in any way, and the only way I can imagine that this even came onto the thread was from an immature mind. Secondly (looks at M.), I frankly don't care what the public opinion is about me, I just typically expect to have a certain amout of respect given to my ideas occasionally. Everyone thinks that if there is something wrong (ie bad work ethic, not too good organizational skills) that it can just be fixed right away. No. Some people have problems with certain skills, and telling them that their idea is "dumb", as some of you put it, or in a roundabout way aying that it's perverted, then telling them that they need to fix whatever their problem is, has to step back and take a look at what they are saying. Maybe the person in question is trying to find a way to organize themselves better, and perhaps having something a little easier to relate to than a paper clip is their idea of helpful. I don't know, maybe I'm just an idiot and every opinion and idea I have is meaningless, but maybe someone could, at some point, show support for one who is obviously not so good at certain things. Okay, so I don't have the best reputation around here, but do the higher-ups in this mini society get shot down with rude comments?

Also, not everyone has the money to go out and just buy something like a palm pilot. Yeah, they're great, but they cost MONEY. I understand that this is what a calendar is often used for, but not everyone carries one of those around, either.
