Thanks for posting that—-great to see IQ getting some exposure. I googled and found the original version of the review with visuals:

Great review of InfoQube. The reviewer really seems to have grasped what IQ is and what it can do.
Only one minor correction: he wrote: “InfoQube offers standard font formatting, but oddly uses a modal dialog to present it.”.
In fact, there is a formatting toolbar. Right-click on any toolbar and select “Formatting” to show it.
A few omissions :
1-The integrated Calendar. Worth nothing because unique to the IQ calendar:
- Zoom from day to year view with the mouse wheel
- Multi-Day view with end-less horizontal scrolling mode
- Users can drag an item from a grid to the calendar to instantly create a calendar event. Event will be shown as a sub-item. Typically, one drags a contact to the calendar and a sub-item will be created containing the appointment. Great for contact management)
- Items can also appear more than once in the calendar, in fact, once per date field (so a contact can appear for both birthday and wedding anniversary, or a task can appear both when scheduled to start and scheduled to end)
2- A screenshot showing the pivot table / chart would have been nice as there are so few information managers that can also perform data analysis / presentation
3- User-defined code programming is a rarity in other information managers, but a must when one wants to save time and use it for typical consultant tasks (time tracking, billing, task management)
4- A feature/functionality comparison with current offering—the other information managers. Such a comparison would really make IQ shine, I believe. 3.5 stars would’ve become at least 4 stars… ;
But overall, a good job well done !
