Do you really need an IGNORE feature?

Aren't you capable of just ignoring on your own?

I mean, they are only words on a screen, and can't really hurt you.

That's right up there with "There's nothing wrong with spam, just delete it."

I'm capable of doing arithmetic on my own too, but I still use a computer.

Well, my watch does run PalmOS, so I have Parens installed. That said, being able to count change is a good skill to have too.

On a related note, I was just given the option of getting a free blackberry at work. I chose to go ahead and get one. Mistake or not?

A spell-checker probably wouldn't help you much either.

They still make calculators too, Dev. You can get a good one for like $4.00. If you're worried about change for a dollar, a blackberry may be overkill.

Well it's still early. And my roommate woke me (accidently) when she got home from work at 5:00am. Should I start working or hope to nap for an hour?
