For doing the job.

Well, I prefer to read Wikipedia outside of GNU Emacs and there I also store my
passwords. Do you have more personal information to manage?

What is a smartphone good for? I prefer to spend my superfluous money for
charity. And stay smart myself…

It's an empty list, it makes no problems. Who in the world needs dead meat?

I think: No! I prepare my holidays on bike with Pcal. It allows to use nicer
fonts – or I'm a bit to lazy to set up GNU Emacs for this. (But the Pcal file
is at least edited in GNU Emacs!)

I prefer to keep my private dates really private. No Google. Absolutely!

I don't know. Maybe not, because I am using a different application.

Of course! Every day you can receive a few updates.
