It's a weird product category. There aren't that many vendors trying to
compete with Outlook, which is essentially free. There are a few, though:

Yes, especially if you're picky. I'm reviewing some, have discarded
others. A lot is look and feel, but I want to migrate my addresses -
all personal now - from my old VB app from circa Win95 days, which is
actually a nice address book with plenty of note space. Doesn't have
any calendar or alarm functionality to speak of, and it won't export
data either. Many of the type of app I'm looking for have all kinds
of stuff I don't want.

My problem with Outlook 2000 was that it had no place for adding written
notes that were connected with a contact.

Right. It was real good for scheduling though. I looked at the
Outlook Express on my PC, and the address book looks the same as
Outlook's, but it doesn't even have a calendar.
I'll let you know when I find a calendar/contacts/alarm combo I like.
'Course that'll be just what works for me.
