Why would someone want to do this, you ask? Because anyone who really uses
a calendar and task list to manage their life will quickly build an
enourmous Erage data file. Imagine using the same file for a couple of
years. It would get so big, it would probably take ten minutes to open it.
Never mind trying to synch it with another computer or Palm.
