Dear Larry,

I saw an ad for a technology product called Zeo that claims to help you sleep better. Do you know anything about it? — F.S.

Dear F.S.,

Thomas Edison felt sleep was a waste of time and relied on four hours a night. Albert Einstein insisted he needed nine hours of sleep for his mind to function at peak capacity. You and I would probably be pretty happy if we could consistently manage seven hours every night.

Dear Larry,

I am an octogenarian just now getting my first taste of a computer. I am really enjoying it. One complaint I have is that the keyboard makes absolutely no sense to me. Is there any logic behind it? — E.M.
