I completely agree.

Thanks Henry.

I was one of those who managed to get a free key to the PRO version
during the Halloween promotion. AFAICT, the "pro" features seem more
useful in a business environment, but the free version is more than
adequate for personal use. I would especially recommend it to those
who use Outlook's calendar at work, but need a freeware equivalent for
home use.

I still await the day when they give us envelope printing abilities in
this program.

With all due respect, I just downloaded this, and I don't see anything
so great about it. It just seems so clutzy.

I didn't say it was great. It's just another free PIM to mention. It's
geared towards home users with stuff like birthday reminders, a diary,
a shopping database, etc. CompletelyFreeSoftware.com gave it a 5 out of
5 rating but I haven't seen many other reviews for it.

I am looking for a freeware personal organizer and am having troubles
finding exactly what I need. Basically, I need a calendar and a to-do
list. The calendar should have weekly and monthly views to which I can
add my appointments and the to-do list needs to be able to separate
tasks by category. I was previously using Outlook and something
similar to its calendar and task functions would be useful. Does any
one have any recommendations? Thanks.

The most functional PIM I know of is EccoPro. Don't be fooled by the
name, it's freeware. You can dl it here:

the download link is two-thirds of the way down the gray stripe.
