    @bernardramsey: Good point. I was really trying to get at things not usually associated with computers at all with this list, but I’ll save that one for a future list!

    you can use the search, mail and ical functions as a cognitive prothesis to keep track of names, and memories, that are otherwise lost. Combined with blogging and photos, each step increases the efficacy. What Macs do about this best is the ability to integrate so many features and cross search.

    My Mac is a lot easier to control than any other physical form i.e. hand-held remotes, etc.

    I use my Mac to control all my entertainment system components. Along with Wi-Fi and ethernet, I use a Zephir USB infrared transmitter. The accompanying software helps you create customised virtual on-screen remotes.

    It even has a learning function and you have access to a database of OEM IR codes. Cost is about $50.
