I was probably the one who suggested Time and Chaos. I still use it with my iPhone but have added Chaos Host which syncs my iPhone with my computer program automatically. (I suspect this would also work with the iPad, but you'd probably also have to check the T&C website for that. Actually, I'm hoping that this can work because I do hope to get an iPad for my birthday....but I digress.)
The salon I am working at still uses, I'm embarrassed to admit, the old paper appointment calendar and pencil (yikes). I usually promptly input nail appointments onto my iPhone, which "syncs" automatically with the Chaos Host service. Usually at some point in the evening, when I am home, I will simply press the F12 key while in Time and Chaos, and the Chaos Host service will sync new/edited appointments back and forth between my computer and my iPhone. This sounds a whole lot more complicated than it really is. It is very simple to make client notes/print out schedules/etc. from my computer with T&C. I especially like the versatility of being able to schedule appointments on my practially-instant-on iPhone which can easily sync to my computer. I am also seriously considering an on-line scheduling service but have to figure out how to coordinate yet another calendar. I see a huge potential for conflict with my personal one and the salon's old school method of booking, I want to be comfortable that there won't be a major screw-up coordinating these things!
