My Franklin planner is about to run out, and, I must confess, since taking on my new "job" as a stay at home dad, I haven't really been using it much at all. Not like when I got paid for working.
My SIL uses iCal, and was showing me how it worked the other day, and I thought maybe I'd give it a try. I've always been a "paper" guy, and Franklin/Covey worked well for me back in the day, so this is kinda different for me.
Anybody else use it, or another electronic planner? Any good things/ bad things about it or others? |

iCal on my Powerbook is all I used. I had an old Handspring (built by a bunch of disgruntled Palm engineers who left the company so I heard. Later Palm bought the company.) Never got the Handspring to sync with iCal but quit using the Handspring anyway.
Love iCal except when the alarm goes off, you can only "snooze for 5 minutes or 1 hour (and some beyond), wish they offered a 15 or 30 minute option. PITA to have to keep snoozing for 5 minutes.
Otherwise, love it.
Like the electronic version better than paper one since when you write something in the paper one and decide to move it, you have to scratch out and rewrite it. In an electronic version you can simply move the entry to the new date. |

Even now, it's an interesting set of hoops to get a Palm device to sync using iSync, through the iSync conduit of the Palm Desktop Hotsync Manager. But I finally figured it out. |

| iCal for Mac. I haven't figured out the finer points. Thanks for the link Jay! That should help some.:D |
