If I may ask: why not just take it every day? Does it cause side effects?

The dopamine production in your brain can become dependent on the Adderall. Reaching this point would make you "that fucking addict" in your local community.

my guess would probably be not wanting to develop a tolerance, potentially because it isn't prescribed and is then probably expensive...

I highly recommend you try not taking Adderall. In my experience (I've had plenty of experience), it only screws with your priorities (you think you can do anything while you're on it) and makes you completely useless when you're not taking it. I was prescribed it myself for several years, and only recently went off. I've replaced Adderall with a little bit of caffeine, and lots of exercise. And yes, Adderall has a bunch of negative side effects. Try it once if you want, but don't make a habit out of it--you'll regret it long term.

I actually found myself quite annoyed by distractions. I felt like I was God, and I wanted to get my project done as soon as possible. Felt wonderful.

Have you tried? Read any books or even articles on how to do so?

Someone could write a greasemonkey script...

They occur a lot more than they used to, and they don't get modded down as much as they should. The signal-to-noise ratio here is going down pretty quickly.

It's clear this has a market.

I did want to point out that my own grandparents are 75-ish, and use gmail just fine, and have a blog that they update regularly.

So I'm not sure if this market will be increasing, or decreasing. Over a long enough time frame, I think it probably will be decreasing, as more tech-savvy users get older.

We got this objection a lot. My father's generation has another 20 or 30 years of life expectancy given current technology. I think it's a little silly to write off a huge, underserved market because you only have two or three decades to sell to it. By that time, one ought to be able to move on to their second product.

Also, my father's generation is more used to paying for things of value compared to my generation. It could be a good market.

Domestically... I think you're right. But what about internationally? I know lots of Indian immigrants that would love to have their elderly parents back in India using this. Is the number of computer inept grandparents with internet access shrinking or growing, globally?

I was going to make a similar comment. My grandparents are mid-80s and have been using email for at least 14 years. My grandmother would be insulted if someone suggested she switched to the simplified elderly email service. However, she experienced a drastic decline in vision last year and now has someone read her email to her.

The market for older people who need a different mail client because they don't know how to use email is probably on the decline. But, the market for older people who need a different mail client because their eyes are going bad or they can't type well anymore is probably on the rise.

One other comment is that PawPawMail sounds like you are marketing to grandfathers. In my limited experience, the grandmothers (and aunts, moms, daughters) send far more email.

I'd argue it's for a good cause, and doesn't have much potential for harm.

I don't think it harms anyone, but perhaps it's a bit dishonest. I'll go back to trying it the other way and see if I can't get the same level of kind interest.

Weird. I fully expected to read the article and be able to figure out what the FBI was trying to do, and see their side of the story. But I'm more baffled (and frustrated) than ever.

Listening to local radio this morning, the DJs were discussing how they used twitter. My impression is that it's really taking off in the mainstream in the last several weeks.

I listen to Kerrang Radio UK regularly, and they're quite up to scratch with twitter actually

If you listen to Loveline, Dr Drew and Skyler talk about twitter pretty often.

Woosh

Why? What I said and what you said are unrelated.

Nah, they do pretty extensive April 1st stuff every year.
