Anyone have an address book/calendar program they like?

A free one? A cheap one? I found the diskettes for Palm 3.5, but without having a hand held cradle attached to my desktop, apparently the program will not install correctly. And I don't even have the correct plug-ins for this old cradle -- I'd have to get a converter to plug it into my UBS router.

This may just be the universe's way of telling me to import the address book into a new program. Importing the calendar is probably a lost cause, but that can be re-created. The address book is the thing I really don't want to have to enter by hand!

I'm feeling very Chai right now. *Sigh*

I kind of hate to say it...

...but all my data belongs to Google. Seriously, I have an Android phone (a rooted Android phone with a community OS) and my university moved over to gmail, anyway. The calendar and address book are automatically synched between them, and even if I lose my phone and get a new one, or move onto a different computer, it's totally easy to pull them up.

Yeah, there are privacy concerns.

Thanks for mentioning it. I have been resistant to the Google way -- I couldn't figure it out at my most ill, so I stayed with what I could handle then. I have several friends who like it, and Tungle (although you have to be a member of Tungle to use it, which sort of negates a meeting arranger for me...)

Another Google person here. Reluctantly, regretfully, but... Android and Gmail.

I like Gmail...but I do have at least two important people who cannot receive Gmail from me, nor send to me. Which seems bizarre, but there you have it.
