It took me about twenty minutes of tinkering with the concept of making "Mindmaps" before I was sold on the idea. FreeMind allows to to map your thoughts in a way reminiscent of doing outlines but with tons of tools to organize and visualize your ideas. I'm sold on it and have already used it to organize a job search and write an article!

I've used a lot of Image viewers through the years and I can honestly say FastStone Viewer rates extremely high! Judging by the 40+ reviews for this software, I'm not alone. If you want a a solid,feature rich, well thought out Thumbnail / Image viewer - look no further! Bravo!!

Time & Chaos
  • Free Trial ($49.95)
  • WinXP/Vista

qleft  Time and chaos is the best pim i've seen!  qright

Time & Chaos version 6.0.4.7
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I started using Time and Chaos v 4.95 way back in 1994 and it continues to be far and away the very best Shareware PIM on the market. The screen puts "everything" on display without having to change page views. I have over 5000 contacts in my address book and everything (Todo's, Appts, Contacts) can be cross linked. Once you set it up, and get used to using the bells and whistles, you'll never look back. Personally, I couldn't imagine NOT having TandC!

EssentialPIM Pro
  • Free Trial ($39.95)
  • WinXP/Vista

qleft  Essential pim just keeps getting better!  qright

EssentialPIM Pro version 1.8
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 4
  • Overall: 5

I'm happy to report that with each update EssentialPIM becomes a more sophisticated program worthy of being your primary PIM. The program runs faster now even with more than 5000 contacts in the address book! While I still use Time and Chaos as my primary Personal Information management program, I "shadow" it with Essential PIM because it can run independently on a USB Flash drive. Very nice!
