Inactivating Alarms on PDA WAAAY back, before Outlook killed it, I used to a really cool PIM called Ecco. It was very innovative, if quirky. It was a pioneer in the PIM category (now hardly even considered a category, it so dominated by Outlook). This was before the advent of the PC-oriented PDA (not counting the abortive Newton), but it still had the concept of synchronization, because they recognized you might have data on multiple computers (work and home, for instance--laptops were less common back then, too). Anyway, it also had a really nice feature, which allowed you to configure whether alarms were to be active on a given computer. I would really like that for my PDA, so I could turn off the utterly superfluous alarms that I have to work through while my PDA is sitting in its cradle on my desk at work. 4:41:15 PM    comment []
