OK, thanks! The reason I'm concerned about syncing is that the web site talks about syncing of the "extra" stuff between the PalmOS and Windows versions of Agendus. My assumption then would be that the extra stuff gets sync'd through an Agendus conduit, and the "regular" stuff gets sync'd through the normal means, which, for me, is over the air real time push sync.
I think I looked at this program back when it was called Action Names (right?) and didn't like it, but that was a long time ago. As long as it leaves the built-in databases alone except for putting tokens in the notes, and as long as it leaves my Notes alone (doesn't overwrite them), I might give it a try. I use (or try to use) the GTD methods of David Allen, but am constantly coming up short in the management of tasks since, really, if I list projects as DA suggests, I have literally hundreds (I'm a busy guy) that I'm working on in one way or another. That leads to hundreds of Next Actions (the DA analog to Tasks) and I just can't get my head around tasks as they are presented by Outlook or the Palm Task list. I'm thinking that the Quadrant look at tasks in Agendus might help. At least it's worth a look. Thanks for all the information. I'd appreciate any gotcha stories - things that have gone wrong with Agendus and for which I should be prepared. Thanks, all!

I think that the references to Hotsync are just leftovers from when that was the only way to sync. So using it will not affect the transfer of data. What it does is to extend the capabilities of your contact, calendar, and task handling. It does add tokens in the notes section of all of these functions but as Alli said you don't see them as long as you look at everything through Agendus. When you look at things in Outlook you will see the tokens but they are really not too intrusive. One of the things I like about it is that you can keep an automatic running history of all "contacts" with a contact in the notes field for that contact. It will record meetings, tasks, and calls associated with that contact. I think that they don't emphasize the token thing because they assume that you will not care because of the advantages that Agendus gives you. As you can see I like Agendus a lot. I have been using it for many years and would never go back to the native applications. _____ From: [email protected] <mailto:treo%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:[email protected] <mailto:treo%40yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of Alli Sent: Saturday, February 17, 2007 7:23 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:treo%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: Re: [Treo] Two Agendus questions: sync and database It will add "junk" if you use the contacts "relationship" function. There will be the notation for linking a contact to a picture - but only if you look at the contact from the built in contacts - it doesn't show up at all if you look in the notes section within Agendus itself. Beyond that, there doesn't appear to be any "junk" in the notes section. I can't answer your part II. Don Ferguson wrote: > > > Hi all, > > 2.
