    Martin,

    It is not normally my style I'm going to be frank because you asked me to. This is meant to be constructive.

    I went to the web site. IMO it is pretty bad.

    I don't know about a projects review but certainly this is a list which I check daily. It shouldn't fall though the cracks if you do that but if you don't trust yourself, then yeah, I guess put in a...

    I have tried doing things like this in the past. The problem is that filling in a text field requires that you remember the exact wording of the phrase. I have yet to figure out how to configure a...

    Nice! But I wouldn't throw those NAs out just yet. Keep them handy so you can make a logical decision about what to put on tomorrow's index cards.

    I never heard of anything like this. I can't imagine being able to sync the calendar and not the tasks. I would call the company or ask the rep at the store before buying.

    Well, you certainly can sync tasks both ways with Windows Mobile. I do both myself with my smart phone. I can't say if there's something about the your particular phone that prevents it. If there...
