From: Gary Britt 

OK thanks.

I'm not a Palm user but I've been tempted from time to time to try one.
I've read reviews that Anytime Organizer Deluxe 10.0 is an excellent
product (PC Mag Editor's choice last year for whatever that's worth) with a
ton of abilities to synch with Palms and other PDA's, all free as part of
the program and not paid add ons.
