Nice because of the interface, no advanced linking like DateMan or
MoreInfo

> moreinfo

Offers advanced linking and a nice interface, though in some aspects
not as nice as TimeTrax. AFAIK some alteration of data which might be
complicating synching.

> dateman

See MoreInfo, different interface, basically same functionality. DM
lacks some thing MI offers and vice versa, preference seems to be quite
personal. No data alteration AFAIK. Offers a nice ToDoList entry option
where one can enter multiple ToDo's at once, was my personal reason to
go for DM instead of MI.

> action names

Only used this in older versions, used to completely alter the Dates
soup, don't know if it still does. Now available for free, so it has
quite a financial asset going for it...

This one is a no-brainer to me personally, Address Access 2.20 Pro wins
hands down. No alteration of data (though beaming of cards doesn't work
from AA to another Newton without AA, takes a reboot with AA frozen)
and the fastest, most versatile and the Names enhancer with the most
options out there, so it can be tailored completely to your needs.

I tried all the other ones, and though some are decent, QuickNames and
Super Names are the closest competition, IIRC they all alter the data
and both entry and searches are more cumbersome.
