I recently started to clean up my computer and posted a thread in GQ regarding various matters. I figured this is realy more of an IMHO subject, polly type thing.

Anyway, does anyone have fabulous suggestions for a program for organizing. I have an old Lotus Organizer CD but it would probably blow up on my new computer. I thinking of the sort of day-timer on a disc thing: phone numbers, contacts, tasks and things of that ilk. It’s be really nice if it could communicate with my cell, too.

So what’re y’all using out there.

Thanks.

MS Outlook (not Outlook Express) is the most common application for that stuff.
