HGR> I think that he means ThoughtPattern.  The current version of
HGR> ThoughtPattern (1.3) does not include a calendar.  The program

HGR> You can find a demo of it on Sumex in the demo folder.

HGR> The program is being completely overhauled and will include a calendar
HGR> and address book in version 2.0, which will be released later this
HGR> fall.  I think that version 2.0 will address many of the features that
HGR> Randal needs.  He is correct that there is currently no single program
HGR> that serves as an integrated personal information manager.  Most
HGR> vendors have opted to focus on a single need: a calendar, an address
HGR> book, a notetaker, etc.  Version 2.0 of ThoughtPattern will be the
HGR> first to integrate all these functions (and many others, including
HGR> file management) into a single program.

One program that hasn't been mentioned so far that IMHO is very good is
_Remember?_ Version 2.3.2

I have been using this on my powerbook for a few weeks now, meanwhile I have
been checking out some of the other ones I could find in the info-mac archives

   Do-it-all
   ThoughtPattern

plus a couple others that I can't even recall the names of.

Remember is very good at managing appointments, birthdays, events,
and other notes (such as time worked for company x on a given day etc)

The Alert boxes are good, and easy to set up, and it only takes up a 20k 
partition.  I leave it up all day.

(Dave Warker:  If you are reading this, The check is in the mail. . .  Really!)
