Some of us, in our possibly fruitless search for the “Perfect PIM,” appear to be using several.

How do you keep the commands straight? I can’t and in using several, I find that I haven’t become “intimate” with any of them.
Certainly not as intimate as I once was with GrandView, when I could honestly say that I spent more time with it than with my wife. (Can I sue Bill Gates for alienation of affection…not with my wife, but with GV under the newer versions of Windows?)

Speaking about GV, there was a learning curve, particularly as the category-assignment concept was relatively scarce at the time. Also, I, for one, remapped the entire keyboard to make as many key combinations as possible match my word processor’s commands.

By the way, I just discovered that if one right-clicks the GV icon on the task bar, some useful commands appear such as “edit” which can be used for copy/cut & paste.
