Calendar/PIM/organiser that gives transportable data

[Paul Blarmy]

Hi - looking for a freeware calendar/PIM/organiser that I can install on
both office and home PC and take the data part between the two on a USB
drive or similar. Don't want to run it from a USB drive (in case it
eventually fails) just on two different PC's with the ability to save
the data file to floppy or USB drive or even email it from one place to
the other.

Thanks again.

I use EssentialPIM (free version). It saves the data in one file
called chosen_name.epim.

Why fool around with software and hardware when you don't need to?
There are several free web-based calendar/pim apps that are worth
looking at. One of the best is http://www.hipcal.com/

But can you trust that a webbased free service is used next year?

That is a valid concern, and although I use hipcal I'm cautious about
backups.

Here is another new approach to the PIM-portability issue which may be
of interest to Firefox users. "This has to be one of the coolest

I've been using Essential Pim for a while now, just this way. There is
a USB keychain version on their site.

Been using this all day now and I'm quite impressed.

Thanks to all for the recommendations.

Although now I am slightly mystified. Essentialpim shares more than a
few things with MS Works Calendar. A lot of the menu options give
windows that are a blatent copy of the MS Works ones - recuuring events
settings for one!

So what's your point? So do most calendar progs. It's a common
interface design. It makes the calendar more easy to learn. MS Works
calendar also shares it's setup with MS Outlook, neither of which are
portable.

Well it surprised me to see that the whole interface of that particular
setting is virtually a complete copy of the MS Works one.

I agree - it was just a surprise that's all.
