I’m waiting for v4 but I’m currently quite pleased w my UR experience.

Yes, until recently, I was using ADM for everything on a daily basis w/o problems even tho I’ve wanted to get out of it for a while for all the reasons discussed in detail on other threads.

Problem was I couldn’t find a good substitute. Except for a few things UR v3 currently fits the bill for my needs. One of the things that makes it extra useful to me is it’s calendar functions as I’m a list maker & constantly need reminders, etc.to stay organized.

Although URp was a little tricky for me, once I understood the basic concept, it became very easy for me to mold it to my own uses.

Petko (MyInfo) has been pretty rigid about including any kind of calendar/date/time function which was another thing that got me back to URp but we’ll see….

I think unlike you & maybe others, I ‘m trying to find an all-in-one product. So far so good with URp. It makes me crazy that I still have data in Agenda, Zoot, Ecco Pro & ADM but I’m slowly co-ordinating it all.

Take a look @ their client roster. They may not all be for UR but even if half of them are for real—and I have absolutely no reason to doubt that *all* of them are for real—they’re definitely a grown up company, doing something right. I’ve been pleased with their attention to detail..
