OK, I can't figure out what "Chi" is referring to.

Hillman and Steve, you both should open a new thread where you would
detail your respective use of application / "workflow", I think both
ideas are quite exceptional in this forum, far from the "usual suspects"
mentioned here over and over again (and this in spite of the fact that
this forum doesn't (technically) permit screenshots).

As for IS/LO, "workflow"/interaction would be of the highest interest,
whilst for ChI,

I guess it is Chaos Intellect (http://www.chaossoftware.com/products.aspx At least, that is what 22111 mentioned.

That was my guess too, but I figured I'd ask.

I'll post my usage of Chaos Intellect with my work flow in and out of the program - I like in that sucker every day.

"I li[v]e in that sucker every day"

That would be a pleasure. "sucker" = friendly for "really good even if it has some quirks", or for "my stuff is in it so... but I would not go for it again"? Again, that "previous version seems to have been a good one, but not any more" problem.

As I see it, totally from the outside: It's elegant, it's smooth, it's something "pleasant", for the basics of CRM, and when you don't need more crm functionality than it has on offer.

But oh, Steve, you already combine it with AS here (and now with MI since both do not fulfill your "general IM" needs... - which makes me fear that ChI (crazy name, which will harm biz, btw) might be sort of a "toy" - so "pleasant" (I raved trialling (the previous version of) it), but then, not "developed" enough?

Your combination ChI/AS does not say it "all", but says something to make me think again about it...

Please permit me mentioning, again, that Outlook allows for accessing many of its internal commands from the outside (and that UR has made some use out of that); this might lessen the appeal of a "fully integrated" approach as ChI (which then doesn't offer the crm functionality to the extent you might want that to have available though), but at the price of some necessary macro scripting, or of having available a "data repository" that supports this natively (as UR does to some degree, but which neither AS (which is a usability nightmare anyway) nor MI do).

Steve, after all this negativism of mine, I'd be really happy to know about the positive points in ChI, it's really cute as sw!

Does it now support Unicode or at least a good number of codepages? in the past, it was the main reason that I didn't use it, even though I found it very elegant indeed.
