On contact management Moreinfo 5 works well for me. Great for managing a
heap of tasks and link them with contacts. There is a log view that allows
you to review contact histories quickly. It's still shareware but worth it
IMO.
The weekly view is a bit weak (pardon the pun). I would prefer a weekly
view that had first few 10 characters of the meeting item showing but MI5
only shows a bar spanning the meeting period.
For structured forms: meeting notes etc I have created templates which I
store into a folder called "templates". Then when I want one I open it,
"duplicate" it; rename it and fill it in and then file it into the right
folder. But I'm sure there were apps built for more formal forms.
HTH and good hunting

Subject: Re: [NTLK] Newby Setting Up in Melbourne Australia
Dear more experienced Newton users.
I have recently purchased a Newton 2100 with a speed upgrade and an audio
output from a guy in Canada. I am trying to work out how to incorporate
this unit into the way I work. Preferred to go with a Newton with a
community of fiercely I need advice on what to use to manage contact lists
and what applications on an eMac 700 or iMac 800 or Ti Powerbook 500 running
osx 10.3.9 will allow for synchronising with the Newton. Currently I have
details in Filemaker Pro which I can export in a form to integrate into
Entourage or other software able to import data in tab separated format.
I am also interested in software that can run in either OSX or classic mode
for making forms for the Newton which can be used for data collection. I do
environmental monitoring and audits where forms would be helpful in
collecting data while on site. Can people suggest programs and also
indicate where these might be obtained?
There is obviously a treasure trove of material available for the Newton but
it takes time to work through it and other people's knowledge would be
appreciated. Also I have looked through some of the software for the
Newton and it is shareware, however it seems likely that the people involved
with producing it are no longer in business or have different contact
details. If after 30 days have elapsed and I cannot contact them, to
subscribe, what do I do/
Thanks
