Subject: PART 2 Lister ROBBED. Let's help.

[Ameer Antar]

I think your intentions are very noble and commendable, but don't you think 
a Palm Pilot will attract more attention....thieves....I personally don't 
like carrying around expensive items like cell phones, pilot's, etc. b/c i 
would a) break them b) lose them or c) get robbed for them, plus they're 
bulky. That's prolly why Todd was keeping all that junk in his car not his 
pocket. I personally like having those computer-nerd type casio watches 
that store info. It's on yer wrist so you can't lose it, and meets little 
wear and tear. It might not be stylish, but it's handy ans it can hold 
phone #'s and has a scheduler that beeps when it's time. Plus I think they 
even have more fancy watches now that can do even more...just a thought. 
Don't mean to ruin your intentions.
