Fair enough--I suppose I should clarify that I'm coming from a pretty Judea-Christian perspective. I don't know enough about other creation accounts to really comment on them, although I'd imagine many are similar, both in content and in flexibility.
Sure, Genesis doesn't mention other planets, as far as I can tell. But it doesn't mention a lot that one might presume would be part of a God creating a universe (such as details about other universes, other beings, etc.). I don't think it would be too far out of somewhat orthodox beliefs to imagine that there is life elsewhere, and it would make a ton of sense to imagine that a creative God would have made it surprisingly different from our own life.
Then again, He may not have.
It reminds me a bit of C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy. The books definitely don't espouse strict teachings of any church that I know of--but they suggest some pretting interesting ideas.
Anyone else think of Johnny Hart's BC cartoon? Except I think it was the cavewomen that got bonked...apparently they wouldn't go with the cavemen otherwise.
I used my '89 all the time to help me understand the math - I was able to keep myself from getting too stuck by having an answer available (like the back of the book) and was often able to check all steps of my work - which helps a lot!
Oh, and yes, they both provide features for adding lyrics. And, as a previous poster mentioned, Virtual Singer will allow you to even hear the lyrics sung for you.
I'd try skipping around the office. You know, like the neighbor kids did once upon a time. You can even flap your arms like wings and get additional excercise. It is a little high impact (especially when you run into your co-workers), but you move faster, get excercise, and can see (in brief split-second bursts) over the cubicle walls around you.
Stairs usually pose a problem. But not more than once.

Maybe I should fix the URL...try http://education.ti.com/us/product/tech/89/feature s/89bid.html instead. Don't ask about the other one.
I would guess the closest would be the TI-89/Voyage 200. Here's some from TI's site.
What is really interesting is that the TI-89 only has a Motorola 68000 processor at 12 MHz. You can find more info from Wikipedia.
And the HP and TI sell for the same price!

I'd check out Myriad's Melody Assistant or it's more powerful and more expensive sibling Harmony Assistant. Melody is $15 shareware and quite powerful.
I can't compare the speed of notation with other programs as I haven't used them much. Its been great for the work I've done, however.
