Freeware PIMs?

Unless I am looking in the wrong place, I can't find any reference at all
to any freeware PIM's on the Pricelessware pages. Would have expected to
have found something in the organisers section.

Anyone recommend a decent one? I've tried a few in the past that are OK
but that leave a lot to be desired when it comes to the printing options.

Thanks, but that one doesn't work for me on my Win98 box:

ESSENTIALPIM caused an exception eedfadeH in module <unknown> at
0000:00000000.

And then a 'runtime error 217 at 004728F8'

Tried the download from both locations in case one was corrupt but still
no joy.

Booby is a Webbased Personal Information Manager (PIM) with support for
bookmarks, calendar, contacts, notes, news, passwords and tasks. In
short; a multi-thingy something.

Hi Suzan.......i took a quick glance at Esential PIM.........it seems a
bit basic.......i am already setting up Thunderbird calander.....i
assume thunderbird calander is much more advanced???.....

As far as organising data goes i think mind mapping is the way to go
since it suits everones abillity to organise data the way it suits
their imagination.

I previosly posted a question about Mind Map freeware but did not get
any answers that found a definate solution.......I currently use
mindman personal, but am disapointed that i cannot use a paint like
program to include my own freehand scetch pictures next to the text
(which is meant to be the whole concept of associating and remembering
personal stuff).....i have briefly read descriptions of other mind map
progs but they seem to use "imported library pics" instead of creating
your own in a MS paint like App.

Do you know if there is a freeware solution for me (or even a comercial
one)....i was hoping i can use a prog like ragtime solo but am having
trouble installing it....or will this not help either?

If you know of anything in existance which can do what i need....please
let me know.

Many thanks in advance.........A

Thanks Susan (at least one of those links is broken BTW) but is there any
reason why none of these PIMs is on the current PLW list? Or indeed any
reason why there is no PIM at all on the current list?

None made the cut during the selection/voting process.

Did you look at Brainbox? It has been a long time since I last reviewed it,
but it might be what you're after.

No PIMs were nominated for PL2005. The PL is the "best of the best" apps
that are *favored* by newsgroup participants. It's easy to draw
conclusions about apps that are on the list - more difficult to say why
some apps are not. . .

IIRC many of the well liked PIMs are last freeware versions - IOW - not
in active development. That might have something to do with it. . .
