You can impress babes by poking it with the pen and making mysterious mumbly type noises while dressed in a three-piece suit with a power tie.

Things like "Big Blue, up a quarter... Need a few million more shares..."

What's going on?...........I thought the manual and all subsequent hand books put out by the agency were considered as being highly classified.

Wouldn't you want a few million more shares only if it went DOWN a quarter? You won't impress many babes that way. At least not the intelligent ones. Oh what the hell am I saying!? That's the whole point. Right?

Talking into your cellphone also works well, I bet. "You tell Gates I want him in my office first thing tomorrow! I don't care whether his jet is in the shop! And get me Donald Rumsfeld!"

Just make sure you turn the phone off - it wouldn't do if it started ringing while you're talking.

ROTFLMAO! Just as I suspected ;-) Amazing how you can build an entire industry on that.

The most useful product that I've found is a Casio G-shock watch which can store 100 telephone numbers and 100 events with accompanying alarm. (It also has two completely useless features: vital stats and stopwatch).

The alarm feature is the best since I never miss events any more. Unlike a PP, my watch is always on me. And at 60 bucks, it's a lot cheaper than a PP.

The only downside is that you have to scroll through the alphabet for each letter, which is time consuming (but not as bad as it sounds).
