    downloading Sidekick software

    Soundadvice, re: "Any suggestions where I could find a copy of '98 at a price that is respectful of one human being to another???" Click to go to the FAQ's (link is at the bottom right of every post), there you will find several easily seen postings by James33 who has helped us all by making...

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

    I'd hoped EPim would have gotten more stable / more bugs out etc, I also liked things about the program but over a year ago was scared off by bugs I experienced and a forum that was a circus of bug reports. Just this week I overhauled my Sidekick 98 databases (about 30 tabs, updating fields...

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

    Back onto the topic of this thread; I finally took some time to check out the alternatives to Sidekick mentioned in the above posts, I'd not tested out the C-Organizer since their latest update, they did improve several things with the program BUT... I was disappointed the developer hasn't yet...

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

    Hi Iolair, interesting option, the Agendus Pro you pointed out. I'd been to their site several times "chewing on" Evernote (a notes taking / web page snippet collecting info mgmt program). Re: Evernote I kept seeing ongoing fairly serious bugs reported on CNET reviewers and on google...

    Possible Sidekick Successor, new 3.6 C-Organizer

    MEdger had a great recent thread on possible Sidekick successors (Long Live Sidekick in the meantime...), one that he mentioned was C-Organizer, this is from his post: "The most flexible card file templates still seem to be in C-Organizer [http://www.csoftlab.com/], (In fact they are completely...

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

    Thank you for the insights there Zoltan627, and alas, you've described what I've run into so often trying to find a "transfer platform" away from Sidekick, so many programs are a bit half baked and a work in progress. I've run into the kind of thing you've described so often, it's amazing... A...

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

    Hi Zoltan627, I downloaded and tried Anytime Organizer Deluxe 10 a while back (hoping yet again to find a decent path to move to from the "perfect comfortable old shoe" Sidekick 98), but for my needs (and all of us will vary a bit on our demand wishlist), Anytime Organizer was not flexible or...

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

    MEdgar, great reviews! Many months ago I'd posted about C-Organizer (before the latest revision, then a brief note after the revision), but honestly I've not gone back and really put the program through the paces after the developer did his nice update, I'd decided for the short term to "hold...

    SK99 and Truesync Desktop

    MEdgar, I used Truesync Desktop for a while, and before that used SK 95, 98, 99, as I understand it the Truesync Desktop was stripped DOWN in features to make it a smaller footprint for use on the Motorola piggyback startek cell phone deal etc, it's only real "addition" as the sync'ing aspect...

    Calender to 2029! No Crash! On XP!

    Hi Julimajo, I read your message just fine, I hope you read mine just fine as well. No ill will intended at all, but do familiarize yourself a bit as expressed in my post, thanks! Frank H.

    Calender to 2029! No Crash! On XP!

    Hi Julimajo - Sidekick 98 runs fine on XP, those who may have any particular problems will be sorted out doing a search on the forum here, and James33's website (and the work he's put into the FAQ's) have tons of info for anyone who may have any trouble getting rolling on XP. Re: Calendar to...

    Has anyone tried running Sidekick on a USB drive?

    Awesome Jim! This obsolute drifting in the water program does things for me that I need done that nothing else out there does as well, for any amount of money (my database needs, the way I need it). Salutes again to James33 for helping keep the "life support" hooked up, LOL... Frank H.

    Has anyone tried running Sidekick on a USB drive?

    Jim as always thanks for the great tips! You touched on "label template files" which is a topic I wanted to know more about, so I just did a search through your FAQ's you've done on this forum and the FAQ pages you've done on your own site (links provided in a moment here), I want to Thank You...

    Has anyone tried running Sidekick on a USB drive?

    Thanks as always for the "real deal" info Jim! Your description did give me one idea, it's not the usual concept for a USB drive (re: total portability and full self-contained functionality), but if one were primarily moving between one's own PC's (like home / work / mobile laptop etc), one...

    Has anyone tried running Sidekick on a USB drive?

    As I muddle about continuing to use Sidekick 98 (database use only, not using the calendar or to-do's), having not yet bitten the bullet to migrate to another alternative, this question hit me: Has anyone tried to get Sidekick 98 running "from" a USB drive, with the program itself and the...

    Sidekick Data Migration to ACT 8.0

    KFCon, by data do you mean calendar data or mostly just what is in your contacts / database? Each of the databases should be easily enough exported in a form that ACT can import as it can import about anything. You'll simply export each database file as a .csv (as James33 has described in...

    Excellent info James33, thanks! Frank H.

    Trouble Re-Installing Sidekick

    What a wealth James33 is, thanks for all that you do here! P.S. for Donkirk, once the program "is" running, simply copying over your datafiles (contacts databases, calendar file etc) into your "now working" program's Userdata directory should make your old data visible. You will have to OPEN...

    Support for an independant version of SideKick

    Good info MEdgar7863, and you're right that most alternative program info is in this thread, oddly enough it's the original topic of rejuvinating Sidekick "as Sidekick" that is a dead topic, ironic as that is. Maybe I'll move over to C-Organizer as well now that it allows better template saving...
