DateBk6 has advantages over the built-in Palm Datebook (continued)

Customer support
At the beginning of this review, I mentioned customer support. I wrote a review for a different agenda application which included a daily quote feature. The application pulled quotes from a memo and displayed a different one each day. When I returned to DateBk6 after the review was complete, I missed this feature, so sent an email to ask whether it was something they had considered.

I received a reply from CESD, (C.E. Stuart Dewar, Pimlico's founder) in less than a day, saying that this wasn't currently included but that DateBk6's architecture had been designed to permit plug-ins to be created with relative ease. He then offered to make a plug-in to display quotes. A few days later, he emailed me the plug-in, which worked perfectly and is now available as part of the DateBk6 download. Figure A, above, shows the plug-in in action.

Conclusion
In Palm software, I often find that you either get quick and responsive tech support or a professional and polished product, but not both. Pimlico has both down to an art, and DateBk6 is worthy of a place on everyone's Palm.

DateBk6 receives a rating of five out of five.

OUR RATING: 5 of 5
