I am in the same boat as Paul. It has become very essential to my daily
business to have my schedule, to-dos, etc available on the network. I have
an admin who is constantly updating my schedule, so at the end of the day I
synch up and then review my week from home.
Also I use notes a lot and tie them to meetings. Editing the notes field in
a meeting slip is not the best so I had been using MoreInfo to tie Big notes
to meetings. However Outlink does not sync up any linking items, even
though Outlook has these same features. I have been using Notes2notes
(thanks a lot Bradley) and this works ok, but I don't get the linking that I
would like to have.
I know not every PIM is the same (even different version of Outlook have
different features), but it sure would be nice to have the full sync
capability on say the latest version of Outlook.

Subject: RE: NTLK Outlook Synchronizing (again!)
I would assume that if you work mostly alone, there is no
need for
synchronization with a desktop or another PDA.
I constantly need to share my Names and my Calendar with my
office because
my schedule and travel plans change so frequently (sometimes
completely
without my knowledge). My office has chosen to do this with
Outlook, so
being able to give them access to a changeable version of my
Calendar is
important.
For my colleagues outside the office, my Names soup has
become the place to
go for up-to-date contact information, so I serve that
information via NPDS
on a dedicated server Newton - to which I beam my Names soup
each week.
The beauty of the Newton is that it operates just as well in
either mode.
Either as an extension of you own, private brain, or as a
"Message Pad."
