Amy: "Arthur, I have an idea. I think I could publish a weekly e-zine dealing with computer issues, like software suggestions, computer maintenance, those kinds of things. I could easily write one issue each week, even while caring for our baby."

Arthur: "I think that's a great idea, Amy, but I don't want you to get in over your head. Babies take a lot of time, you know."

Arthur: "Well, I know you have a mind like a steel trap, so if you do it, I know you'll succeed."
