Judy's tips:

Decide if your PIM will be software or an electronic based PIM. Software folks need read no further.

Online PIMs have certain advantages. Due to their online nature more that one person may view your calendar (per your permission). They may be accessed from any computer with web access. They are immune from your computer's problems (hard drive crashes, other bad stuff, etc.)

Here are some other things to consider as you select the perfect PIM:

Reminders
Some of the products listed will vary as to how alarms are handled.

E-mail
Some of the PIMs will give you free accounts and others will not.

Bookmarks
Some have bookmark features others do not. This is a nice feature for those of you using several different machines.

Import, Export and Synchronization Features
This may be important for folks that wish to transfer information back and forth to their desktop machines.

Industrial Strength PIMs
