Hmm - I thought I'd try the weekly goal trick, and see it's gone missing on my beta version. Oh well . . .
I've actually been doing Ctrl-M and Enter to move a partially done item to the end of the last page (of course the first time you need to set the default position to move to). But if you want to keep a record of such tasks in situ then I guess a duplication first. The new system is so simple that almost any software can handle it. I've been very tempted to use pen and paper. Also tried Google Spreadsheet (where the number of rows in a tabbed sheet can be restricted), I think Excel might be good too, and portable. I like the speed of Ctrl-M Enter, but on the Pocket PC the process is much slower. Also it would be nice to have a count after the outline text showing x items unchecked out of y - e.g. "Page [9/25]. And highlighting I have yet to do, but MLO desktop can't yet do that, while the Pocket PC can with a little persuasion. But as you rightly say, simplicity is key, and at the moment I suspect the technology is slower than using a pen (though better for backing up!).
