I intend to use it when I get to emacs 22. I store reading lists and other wishlist type things in tables right now, but the comment column is huge. I'd like to make it a set of outline items that I will usually view as a table. I may switch to using fewer checkbox lists inside projects and instead use todo items that I'll view as a table. I like tables, but verbose information doesn't belong in them. Especially when you can't line-wrap inside a cell. Edd
