<p>Hi boB,</p>
<p>Org-mode is a lot of things. It is an outliner, a PIM, a brain-dump, a blog engine, a website generator, a literate programming tool, it embeds a simple DB and a featurefull spreadsheet, etc. I expect it shall soon achieve sentience.</p>
<p>I like it because it is a plain text PIM that allows me to arrange my data as I want it, to quickly and flexibly capture it, and because it lets me employ my emacs-fu on my digital brain.</p>
<p>I'd be happy to answer any further questions you might have. But, 1) I won't be prompt due to travel, and 2) if you write about org-mode, let us go off-list as we've strayed from tutor's purpose.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
