I just bought a boxed version of the 1990 version of “Lotus Agenda” Version 2.0 on 3,5” disks ready for DOS 2.1 and later on Ebay.
it promises “How to get organized in thirty minutes. Guaranteed”, i think that is the time MSDOS needs to book :-)
Are you saying i bought something wrong?

I think i’m bringing CRIMPing to a new level now. But hey, at least this things had big shiny boxes filled with books
and manuals and a personal smell.

I remember that app. Lotus didn’t have a lot of faith in it for some reason, and they mothballed it after they bought a PIM from Threadz then marketed that as Lotus Organizer.

Actually, DOS booted in mere seconds. :-)

Maybe we should call that RetroCRIMP.

!!! I didn’t have the good fortune to use More or Grandview or the other “archetypal” outliners sometimes mentioned here. But I did buy an expensive (by today’s standards) copy of Lotus Agenda. It was fun to tinker with, although I couldn’t really find a proper use for it. Unlike the PIM from Threadz, which I think was created just down the road from where I then lived and which I found very useful indeed. I remember Lotus buying the company - and then not doing a great deal with it (which has subsequently become a familiar pattern, with a few exceptions, such as Apple and Workflow).
