Well, I've been comparison shopping those types of programs, so I'll
give you what I've gleaned. In Control seems to be a list manager, from
the scant info I can find. That's not what I'm looking for, so I've
stopped looking for info on it.

However, I feel obliged to tell you that MacUser panned DayMaker as "the
interface you'll love to hate." [paraphrased by yours truly from their
review] Apparently it's not so hot for day to day use. I've also been
looking at DateBook (I think this is the one I'll buy; it's VERY
comparable in features to DayMaker) and First Things First, which sounds
comparable to In Control.

Hope this was worth reading!

Yeah, my cat never agrees with me, either.
