1. Among the criteria for selecting a PIM should be
>> a. What is the likelihood of its longevity? InfoSelect and TreePad appear to be good candidates. Any others?
>> b. Can it export to a "standard" format?
>> c. If a new version of the PIM has a new file format, can it open files in the older format? Can it open files in formats 2 or 3 versions ago?
2. With respect to 1.b. and 1.c., it is important to test to make sure these (1.b. & 1.c.) work whenever there is any format or operating system change.
