Task managers - what should they be able to do?

Ah, good point Daly! I should also have mentioned for (my) list: locally based (i.e., not online). Apart from the dangers of my personal information being hacked from a site, I won’t even consider trusting a company enough to be always there. If a developer stops developing their offline task manager, I can export my data into something else because the software won’t suddenly stop working. That’s not the case when my data is on somebody else’s server, which could be offline tomorrow and every day after that.

You do bring up in me a nostalgia for my old paper-based Filofax, though! I wish they could be synced with my Palm ;-)
