Hi Toms, That's an insanely great news. Thanks for that.
Personally, I'm dreaming of a "Personal organizer suite" with stuffs like gtg, hamster, a calendar and tomboy (or equivalent), everything working together. (I don't mind seeing the "gtg" brand disappearing from user sight if needed). Of course, this is currently just a dream ;-) Thanks again and don't hesitate to report bug if we can further improve the relation between GTG and hamster.
