A 2400c/240 is WAY faster than a 6100/66AV which is already way faster than the Duo 250 that I carry around. Clearly, it is a program designed for FAST computers, unlike Claris Organizer which runs snappily on even an LCII. I reported some bugs to chronos and they played this game of "uh, this problem doesn't exist, there's no bug there, etc." which I found thoroughly annoying and meant that I couldn't use my Consultant properly: The Day Window was only partially drawn and unresponsive, traceable to a fault in the data file, but for which there was no other solution but to create a new one from scratch; huh? Retype my data? Whatever happened to those rebuild file commands in other PIMs?) 2.58 was too long in coming, way too long... > > I liked Claris Organizer too. It is/was a very good program. I found that > it tended to get slower as the files increased in size. I think that's true for both CO and Consultant.

Consultant has more features THAN I find useful at an unacceptable price in terms of performance and useability, so I opted for the simplicity and elegance of CO once again. 8-) I'm putting up my license for sale, if anyone wants it.
