[ale] Contact Manager ???

[Geoffrey]

I've heard the term 'contact manager' many times, but it appears it's 
different things to different people.  Anyway, are you considering the 
fact they may want to sync with a palm like device?

I use jpilot with my palm.  It has a calendar with reminders, phone 
list, which you can break down into separate categories, todo list and a 
memo pad.  Probably not a fully functional CM as some folks go, but I 
find very few folks use the more esoteric functions of these packages.

Until later: Geoffrey		esoteric at 3times25.net

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
