MI adds Abbreviation, Hours, Account Info, Custom Info,
Company Info, URL, Room, and Directions to the Names
soup. If I can refer to the term 'bloat-ware', it's
a big program to have on my card when I don't actually
use the program itself. The big one for me is the 'Custom
Info' function. Being in business (web design & hosting),
it's amazingly convenient to have ftp, username, password,
etc. all available in that client's name card. The Newton
has a built in 'custom' field feature for the names soup,
but it's not nearly as easy to use (and I think there is
a limit to how many you can add). There may very well be
more integration. I've had a Newt for quite some time,
and still discover things this puppy will do that I didn't
know about.
