Hey, it's time to go! Can't miss my train! OK - close all apps, 
disconnect all USB, take Palm from cradle, but...

There are two things that it is really easy to forget:
1) Six hours ago, you mounted a network share to get one file from 
our software repository out in secure storage in NJ. The icon is on 
my desktop. But you use my desktop only occasionally for file 
management (LaunchPad & Terminal are your friends) and it's usually 
not even visible. So the share goes un-unmounted.
2) Print jobs which are en route to a network printer, particularly 
the very complex, tabloid-sized, full-colour ones that take a year 
and a day to process. Oh, that's so easy to forget as you unplug that 
durned network cable...

When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is 
dropped, it always lands with the buttered side facing down. I 
propose to strap buttered toast to the back of a cat; the two will 
hover, spinning inches above the ground. With a giant buttered cat 
array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.
