Earlier today, I checked on AskSam and InfoSelect. I guess I was suffering a little from RetroCRIMP. Anyway, it seems that AskSam is totally defunct. I couldn’t find a website for it any longer. I was surprised to find that InfoSelect is still available, and the developer, Micro Logic, is still ask $279 for a new license. I can’t believe anyone would buy it for that amount, but who knows? Of course, both of those apps I looked into were Windows versions, far removed from the DOS days.

One of my old favorite DOS PIMs was called Instant Recall. You created items that could be designated as an event, a contact, a task, or a note. You could sort them all sorts of ways. I found it very efficient for organizing my work. But it never made it to Windows. I still have the disk with the program on it somewhere, I think.

Instant Recall. Never tried it but damit, all in 28KBytes of DOS Memory.
For InfoSelect, they got a new website and revived it, maybe even sold it to a new owner.
The price is indead insane. But maybe we will see an InfoSelect 12 one day.

Yes, that is the software. It was elegant, if that can be said of a DOS app.

Fast-froward to today when apps with a 1/4 of the functionality need 1GB of RAM…
