Jack, thanks for the excelent sum-up.

> The Gantt project seems to offer a free full blown project management tool, but this is over the top for what I want.

For me too, but I also found that the Java implementation makes it rather slow.

> Mind Manager also gives me a route to move a Brainstorm model into a Gantt chart.

Yes, plus there’s a plug-in for Excel; I actually just bought Mind Manager X5 Pro at a promotional price (15% off plus free upgrade to the next version coming this fall—sound familiar?). All this time I had been using the MM 2002 giveaway from PC Plus.

I am currently trying out Adept Tracker; at $79 it can read/write MS Project files and even offers a free viewer.

BTW, how was your experience with Achieve Planner?
