I agree with Bob as well. The calendar is fine for most tasks (most as in "I have never been hampered by this since using Todo" - a few weeks). As for the organizational means, I just wish I could select some default etiquettes for newly created entries .... So you see, it's even not enough for me ;-)
And of course I don't use all organisational means, just those I feel comfortable with. That's the point. Regards 2009/5/21 Anna MacDonald <[email protected]> > > I am in agreement with Bob here.
