Then I am using the priority field in RTM which syncs to the Importance field in PI as follows: 1=NA for today 2=NA for this week 3=Someday/maybe NO=all else (i.e., fodder for my weekly review) Unfortunately 3 and NO priority don't do well on the WinMo database, but I think I can survive not having that differentiation on my phone. I have not yet figured out a way to map contexts to my phone. :-(

Software

My most common pieces of software on my Palm (Oh, I forgot to mention that Handera is built on a Palm basis - older version now but still going strong): Datebook: Pimlico Software DateBk5 Contacts: Chapura KeyContacts (www.chapura.com) ToDo: Code Jedi's Shadow (www.codejedi.com) Memos & Doc reader/writer: Blue Nomad's WordSmith (www.bluenomad.com) Input: MessageEase Launcher: Launcher X Password holder: CryptInfo Bible Reader: OliveTree Spreadsheet: Tiny Sheet Hacks: X-Master Find-hack: FindHack 3.6 I've got a bunch of other stuff (ah, the beauty of Palm OS) but if you have these then you've got the core of what, for me, is a very productive PDA. Enjoy!
