Fair enough... So instead of trying to get some more POTS, what about 
trying to integrate the artifacts of a phone conversation: your baby 
bell phone logs? Automatically? Your phone provider does send you a 
detail list of all your calls... You may even get it online... Would it 
not be "sweet" to be able to integrate this information inside your 
PIM? Cross referenced with the relevant contact information?

In fact, there are many such "personal" information lying around: your 
online bank statements, credit card records, mobile phone calls, 
whatever... Each time you interact with a company, there may very well 
be an electronic transaction resulting from it... Shouldn't those 
_personal_ electronic records be in the realm of a _personal_ 
_information_ _manager_?
