Hot Plan ReviewFirst Class Task Tracker - Version: 1.2.2, 7/26/2006 05:46PM PST

Skyhorse
I've been using this product now daily (all day) at work for months to manage HR systems operations for a governmental agency with 40 sites and over 8,500 people around the world. It has proven to be an extremely reliable product that packs a tremendous amount of information into a small amount of real estate--enough so that a 12" screen leaves plenty of room for other work to show as well. I have anywhere from six to a dozen projects with dozens of different tasks going or listed at any given time, and still haven't reached a point where I notice any slowdown in performance, even with copious notes on many and links from most of my tasks to reference documents or other information sources. I also have my closed projects in it as well, having had no need to archive them to free up performance! Obviously, I both maintain my laptop and execute routine backups, but have never had issues with this app locking up, failing, or losing data. It faithfully reminds me of suspensed items and enables me to be much more efficient. My peers (all of whom run Windows) consider this product a marvel and wish they had similar, to the point that some are now considering migrating to Macs to be able to use it and other Mac products for which they can find no equivalent Windows software. Based on my experience, it is very much worth the sixteen dollars charged.

Something as simple as choosing "View Action Viewer" or whatever it's called crashed my computer!
