I looked at(for the 9th time probably) the 'also drifting now' Lotus Organizer, it just doesn't have the flexibility, can't do many tabs, just not as serious of a program. But the address book part, I'm spoiled by Sidekick's ability to let you custom define ALL fields, the ability to have the text be NOT limited to just 40 characters or whatever, and the nice tabs at the bottom. Many programs out there do a decent job of being a calendar, I'd settle for a separate program for that.

I think us Sidekick fans fall into two camps, those who badly need and are used to the great calendar features, the simplicity and good features of the calendar aspects, and next is the camp that really is devoted to / requires, an 'equal to Sidekick' contact manager / database / address book functionality (some require both, and obviously some are big on the nice notes section). I'll cut out some sections of my long post on that other thread, starting a new thread here re: this decent program I finally found: Now that we've heard from Philipe Kahn etc and it just doesn't look super likely to get our old friend Sidekick 'modernized', like most of you I again have been looking for a decent alternative. Version reviewed: 2.I just posted a lengthy reply on the 'support for an independed version of Sidekick' thread re: finally finally finally finding what at least for me is a workable alternative to Sidekick for the contacts / database aspect. In conclusion: If you don’t have the money to buy a portable organizer or a Pocket PC, then TreeDBNotes Pro can become your new best friend. It has many other tools, such as calendar, calculator, alarms, reminders, screen capture options, etc. Pluses: You can create any structure from top-to-bottom in your style. You can create or modify whatever structure you want, which gives you the impression that you work with your personal web site. You can put tabs or nodes for different trees, as well as use tons of toolbar icons. You can easily change and update the visual themes. The program helps you manage and organize all data regarding your friends, contacts, office collaborators, etc. This makes it much easier for a newbie to understand how this application works. In addition, the interface looks like Microsoft Word because of the built-in Word Processor. Because of the tree structure, the application is Windows oriented. It includes a Word Processor, e-Book maker, Alarm & Reminders, Contacts and Passwords Manager with Tree Structure, as well as advanced encryption and password protection. 'TreeDBNotes Pro' is a very powerful and easy-to-use personal database program.
