Mine gets heavily used for tracking lists of things, especially
passwords in geeksafe. Other lists are "Books I need to find at used
book stores" and "movies I need to purchase for cheap", plus the
Eternal Grocery List. This is a massive heirarchical checklist that
lists everything I may want from a grocery store. When I notice an item
needful at home, the item gets unchecked, and the uncheckedness quality
cascades up through the nesting to indicate at the top level that
there's something I need buried in the section. So, a lack of check on
"Cans & Bottles Aisle" means I should drill down into "Juices" and see
that "Cranberry Juice" needs replacing. Checking off the last item in a
sublist completes the parent up as far as I've got everything on that
section of the list.
