* More generally:
 
** <b>Save</b> many, many, many, many, many, many <b>hours</b> of data drudgery
 
** You <b>never forget</b> a thing - your table and charts are already updated
 
** Your work goes <b>right where you want it</b> - phone, Web, email, blogs, open or restricted
 
** <b>No programming</b> - if you can use a spreadsheet you can use dataZoa
