I am looking for an Australian PIM or scheduler that is relatively cheap (read free) and easy to use.

If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Why Australian in particular? I use essentialpim. It's a freebie, there is a paying type one though. I use it mainly for scheduling with reminders etc, seems pretty simple, but it ain't Ozmade.

I use the missus, but there's nothing even slightly economical about that.

I use the missus, but there's nothing even slightly economical about that. I have one of those too. Generally reliable but not cost effective.:;

Outlook 2003 will do all that for you. Its easy to set up all the public holidays once and schedule them for ever as well as setting your own reminders.

I have a Pocket PC with Windows 2003 on it and it brings all the Australian Public holidays up automatically even when I don't want them.

Outlook costs money.

Not if you own Microsoft Office.

Damn you :doh:

I was happily going along holidayless, now I wann'em. It seems to me that most of these programs rely on an import file for holidays or whatever. It is an Icalc file, with an ics extension, I can't track one down with holidays for Australia for 2007 though.
