    Possible successors to Sidekick (I know we don't want to move, but...)

    Did you notice that Redbox Organizer hasn't been updated since April 2005. Sounds kind of dead. Not sure it's even worth the look. Essential PIM's address book doesn't do one of the main things that I liked about Sidekick - create a totally custom database, ie, no locked in fields. My 3,600...

    Exporting Call Notes

    I noticed that FAQ only mentions Internet Sidekick as being able to export Card Log information, but I use Sidekick 97 to export my cardlog info in Sidekick 98. I do it regularly, but it is a trick, regardless. I really would like a database program to do what I do with SK 98 and the card...

    Support for an independant version of SideKick

    I tried Essential Pim 1.8 and C-Org. I was diappointed with both. My 10 year old, 3500 name address file in Sidekick 98, which does NOT look like Outlook, ie, completely different field labels and organization, exists in a 1.5 meg Sidekick file. E-Pim and C-org both blew it up to 16 meg, and...

    I also briefly looked at PIMOne last night. It seemed more concerned over skins and looks than anything functional. I installed it, but even before I ran it, I looked in the subdirectories installed and saw nothing but fluff. This is not serious software. I uninstalled immediately. THE MAIN...

    Found the predecessor! Found "Yourway.zip" at "http://cd.textfiles.com/smsharew/WIN2/" I unpacked it and just ran it on my WinXPsp2 system. Boy, does it look dated! (But it RAN!) Okay, so that was fun, but it's not going to get us anywhere.

    And look at this snippet: Sona MedSpa Sona Management Team ... principal in Prisma Technologies Corp. whose principal product, Yourway, was sold to Borland Software Company and became ... Couldn't find any more on the Sona web site - must be buried in the archives. I tried the (800) number...

    Guess I didn't try hard enough - look at this: "YourWay is often reviewed as a personal information manager (PIM), Prisma Software prefers to call it a Personal Productivity Workstation. What's that? It turns out to be a contact management-based program that handles schedules, phones, to-do...

    Support for an independant version of SideKick

    I haven't seen anyone mention something that I heard a long time ago. Supposedly, Windows Sidekick (the first version for Win 3.1), came from a shareware program called "Yourways". It did not evolve from the old TSR Sidekick. I've searched for this "Yourways"/"Yourway" etc., and could never...

    Support for an independant version of SideKick

    Had to add my two cents here. I to, have been looking for an SK98 replacement for years. Actually, on my home and work machine, I have both SK98 and SK97 installed, because only SK97 can export the Cardlog field that I am so dependent on. I take that exported file, clean it up in a macro in...
