The greatest thing since sliced bread. I can think of 3 things:

1) Air conditioning

2) Caller ID

3) flatbed scanners so you can scan documents, and edit them, instead of having to retype the whole thing.

The cat's meow. :thumbsup:

11. That was about take number 6. The iPhone camera is convenient for quick and (ahem) dirty
shots, but in no way can replace even a mediocre digital camera.

And that is Bruce; my other kitteh, his biological sister, is named Sheila. They haven't figured out my iPhone yet, but that may all change when Apple releases the C&P feature in the upcoming software update .... :P

13. I have a few....
1. LexisNexis and Westlaw - these two things are MAJOR time-savers and gas-savers to any legal researcher.

2. The fax machine. Wow. Just wow.

3. Memory foam beds. No more waking up to a sore back.

4. Shower massagers. Self-explanatory, imo.
