 I've got a deskmate program for the Tandy 1000 that was for kitchens.
It included recipes, grocery lists and other kitchen orientated things. A family
message centre, "John, the leftover meatloaf is in the fridge. Dolly, dont forget
to take your show-and-tell to school. "
Can't remember it's name and it's buried somewhere here.
