	Also owned by Commander Vimes, the next dis-organiser we encounter is the Mark 5, the {{wp\|BlackBerry\|Gooseberry}}, which is much more useful than its predecessors. It has games, such as "Splong", and "Guess my weight in pigs". It has an "iHum" feature, and can also interface with the [[clacks]], enabling Vimes to send messages back to Pseudopolis Yard Watch House. The Gooseberry is also able to read watch reports and do sums. In fact, this model actually works well with Commander Vimes, after a poor start, (such as Vimes telling the Gooseberry to stick its head up a duck's bottom), and has established a case for employment as a Watch member in its own right.

	Most Dis-organisers are the product of the [[Thaumatological Park]], a business enterprise set up under the auspices of [[Unseen University]]. Utilising what was formerly known as the [[Unreal Estate]], this is now a thriving go-ahead hub of magical business, where the commercial by-products of research magic are made available to the general public. The name of [[Ponder Stibbons]] may not be far away from this development, which might explain the extreme honesty of ~~it's~~ name.

			There's also a second layer of meaning to Dis-organiser. Not only is it simply the opposite of something that is supposed to help organise your schedule, but ''{{wp\|Dis_(Divine_Comedy)\|Dis}}'' is the the name of a city encompassing the sixth through ninth levels of hell in Dante's ''The Divine Comedy'', inspired by a Roman god of the underworld ''{{wp\|Dīs_Pater\|Dis Pater}}''. And imps come from hell. Hence Dis-organiser, a hellish organiser that causes immense frustration to its owner.
