[X4U] Mt. Lion: notes and reminders

[cat]

At the risk of sounding like an eediot, can anyone(s) shine a light on how Notes and Reminders are meant to help us..or, how YOU use them?

we already have a calendar, so the "reminding" part already seems to be there..we already have stickies and text edit, so 2 more apps that appear to duplicate those functions, I don't get.

maybe I'm just not seeing it…

thanks for any clues or insight!
