Totally ON topic, if the free is a rip-off of the other one. They are too similar to be a coincidence. Or is the non-free one a rip-off of the other ? []'s

I had mentioned that Efficient Pim is payware. The other poster indicated a free version, but not of Efficient Pim, but of Essential Pim. I was simply inquiring if there was a free version of Efficient Pim. Why the hostility?

For a comparison between them, go read: >> >> http://www.essentialpim.com/?r=products&pr=essentialpim&prr=provsfree >> http://www.efficientpim.com/freeedition.htm Thanks for the clarification. I've just looked at the portable version of the freeware product for efficient PIM, and, wellll, efficient doesn't quite describe it. My first attempt would be to import my calendar into Efficient PIM. It won't import anything except csv files! What happened to importing standard .ical files? The result -- flawed. It skipped lots of calendar entries, in particular those that were all-day events. Just worthless. I may take another look later. |
