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 think that's true for both CO and Consultant.  I particularly hated
the LONG, LONG boot up and shutdown to open and close the data file.

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.
