Trick #1: Phone Call Butler

paper to write down a number? Those Google people never fail to amaze us.
Now they have come up with an 800 number you can call and ask for any
business in the country. They then dial it and connect to it for you.
You can use it from a land line or cell phone and, once programmed into
your cell phone, you can get connected with one push of a button. In
addition to dialing for you, you can request by business category and get a
map or a text message with more detail.
Neat stuff - and oh yes - there is no cost for this service. Long live Google.

forwarded to the email address you register. This easy-to-remember address
makes it convenient for folks. No more rustling for pen and paper, No more
