Next time you go into a CompUSA store look in the Palm OS section for a product called Silkyboard a screen protecter for Palm Pilots. I managed the deal that got it into CompUSA. I saw the scarcity of palm products in retail and acted upon my idea to the benifit of all parties.
........................
In addition to the great good fortune to have served a few
remarkable people like:
Zel , Realtor,

Laurel , wife of ex Mayor San Jose, Ca,

Danielle & Jim , Interior Decorator & Chip Factory Designer,
Betty & Ron , Los Gatos, Ca Interior Decorator & Stockbroker,

A personal assistant, to me, is FIRST a friend to whom one is first devoted to their needs
above and beyond the call of the 9-5 type worker.
My ideal employer would be in the entertainment industry.If your looking for the rare PA who could be a close devoted friend as well as a creative high energy assistant then I'm for you! Perhaps you are a muscician or a actor or actress or??
My IQ is roughly 127 and scored high in pattern analysis and spatial recognition. I tend to catalog info from newspapers and day-to-day impressions for recall when a need arises. I also think about things when "off-duty". I'm very good at organizing things schedules etc. I do not type. I am a macintosh literate person. I am well read in many fields literature and converse intelligently and would be a good sounding board.
