scrawled the following:

I am appealing to the collective wisdom (and possible software knowledge) of
the Wreck.

I find myself in the midth of a large number of projects, both work related
and personal. They are have a lot of details that need to be updated on a
regular basis. All my "job pads" are taking up a lot of space and rarely are
up to date. I, by nature, hate calanders and daily planners.

I don't need a calander, a planner or project manager. What I need is some
way to keep track of multiple activities and update them on a semi regular
basis. And ideally this would run on a computer. It can be simple.

I just need some way to make a lot of lists and keep them current. I don't
need to include outside parties. Just me and my projects. Some way to
write down needed details and update them constantly.

Is there such a thing? Can this be adapted from something? I want off the
shelf and reasonable price. Will a shareware program work?

Paper approaches don't seem to work. It gets stacked up somewhere and when
I find it again, it is hopelessy out of date. And updating multiple paper
lists can be a chore. Particularyif they are in differentlocations.

Any suggestions or comments are welcome.

How about a copy of GoldMine Software? It was considered the top of
the line contact management when I bought it. Lets you keep all sorts
of relational data about each item and play with it in interesting
ways. I never really used it like I thought I would, so it's for sale.

Mine's v4, with manuals/training, etc.
