Why Did I Download/Buy This?
A few years ago I had a project manager who once used the phrase “signs say no” to answer a question about specifications. For Boss’s day, my teammate and I bought her a magic eight ball. We became very adept at answering software questions with this tool.
When I purchased my Palm, the same friend recommended the tool. So I installed it, and it’s been helping me make decisions ever since. (Just kidding)
How Do I Use This?
It’s all in fun.
