    Possible successors to Sidekick (I know we don't want to move, but...)

    ...save Sidekick 98's calendar as a csv file it would be possible. But Sidekick does not appear to support exporting to any format other than its own *.skc files. Mozilla Sunbird will import data from either csv files created by MS Outlook or iCalendar files. On the calendar side of things I...

    Possible successors to Sidekick (I know we don't want to move, but...)

    I agree with you, Microsoft Outlook and Palm desktop killed the PIM. The one thing I have found lacking in all the other apps is what you said: custom fields, drag and drop, and the ability to have multiple address books (In SK98 I have eight different ones). I guess there isn't a perfect...

    Possible successors to Sidekick (I know we don't want to move, but...)

    It was C-Organizer Pro v 3.5, one thing that I did not like was how it displayed contacts in the address books. I found the need to specify which field would be displayed to be a pain. The other thing was (this might have been due to an idiosyncrasy of my system) the custom fields from...

    Possible successors to Sidekick (I know we don't want to move, but...)

    Does anyone have an opinion of Anytime Organizer ? I tried C-Organizer Pro but I found it to be lacking. I am going to throw out as a suggestion for a useful calendar Mozilla's Sunbird. It is still in its early stages (version 0.3), however I have been using it for a few days and it seems to...

    Support for an independant version of SideKick

    Essential PIM looks interesting and I will add it to the list of SK replacements. I do have one question though, does it work with a Palm PDA? I did not see anything on the site that addresses that question. Thanks

    Support for an independant version of SideKick

    ...to play with the C-Organizer Pro that was mentioned a couple of posts ago? I did a little exploring; I exported one of my SK98 address books to a *.csv file and imported it into C-Organizer Pro. It went ok, although I had to go into each address entry and specify what fields would appear in...

    I finally found a decent "contacts aspect" upgrade, C-Organizer

    I downloaded and installed the trial C-Organizer and gave it a look. I have not been able to get very deep into the program, but what I have seen doesn't look too bad. It isn't Sidekick (I doubt anyone will every make a PIM as useful), but it does have some good points and it looks to be for me...

    kWkW- if you can't get the install for SK98 and the patch, I have it and can burn you a CD.

    Support for an independant version of SideKick

    I checked my machine, I looked in C:\Program Files\Starfish\Sidekick 98\Program and I could not find "TSDesktop.exe". I don't have TrueSync installed, so that could be why, or am I looking in the wrong location?

    SK 98 vs SK 99?

    Others will probably give you a better answer, but one of the things I noticed with SK99 is that it does not have the functionality as SK98, it is sort of a Sidekick lite compared to the other versions. Check out this site: http://siderealb0x.250free.com/index.html Check out the Sidekick...

    Sidekick 2 - To-Do dates stop working end 2005

    Support for an independant version of SideKick

    I mentioned in an earlier post that I was going to speak to a programmer that I know about Sidekick’s year 2006 problem. We came up with two different possibilities; one would be to patch the existing SK98 and the other is that my friend would look at SK98, see what it does, and write an...

    Support for an independant version of SideKick

    I think I mentioned in a prior posting that I believe the date problem with SK98 is being caused by something as simple as a dll. I am not a programmer, but I have worked them enough to know if it is this, a fix would be something simple that could be done in an hour or two. The key is finding...

    Support for an independant version of SideKick

    The key to resurrecting SK98 is the source code. I have been told by my business partner (the programming half of our consulting organization) that if he had the source, he could fix it with out any problem. But Starfish does not exist any longer and Motorola does not seem to care; where does...

    Ok, we know what we would like to see; what is the next step to resurrecting SK98?

    Support for an independant version of SideKick

    I was talking with a friend of mine who does programming about SK's date problem and he said if he had the source code it wouldn't be a problem to fix. The next question is, how do we get the source code?

    A replacement for SK98?

    I tried uninstalling SK 98 and reinstalling it, that did not correct the problem. I am reinstalling the OS on the machine and when it comes to installing the apps, I will install SK 98 after the one causing problems.

    A replacement for SK98?

    There are two issues with SK 98, the first is the date bug mentioned in the FAQ's. After December 31, 2005 the dates in the "To Do" list will not work (they revert back to the 1980's). The other problem I am having is a conflict with another application. After the second app was installed, when...

    A replacement for SK98?

    Thanks for the info, I have a Win XP machine that I use for testing; I will install DeskTop Set on there and see what I can find. I will post a message if I find out anything new.
