HGR> -Heyward Robinson HGR> Disclaimer: I am a consultant to Bananafish Software, publishers of HGR> ThoughtPattern. 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. . .
