    Default personal information manager

    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.

    Price is correct
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    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.

    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.

    I use the Palm software but it doesn't have the public holidays.

    palm desktop

    there aren't many , couldn't you just enter them yourself ?
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Damn you

    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.
