Looking for a PIM with emphasis on Tasks and Notes

[ReuvenNY]

I use Lotus Organizer 6 for my calendaring and contact needs. It’s OK,
but is outdated and not really supported by IBM. It does serve my needs
in those two areas.
The Note and Task part of that program is totally unsuitable for my
needs. I looked at MS Outlook 2003 (which I own), as well as many other
Personal Information Managers, but find that most are cumbersome, too
detailed and just visually no appealing.
I am looking for a program that is primarily Task Manager,( not a
project manager) with a modern look and feel - simple yet powerful.
Does anything like that exist? Where should I look for it?

Thanks for any help.

If you use Thunderbird, Lightning (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/lightning/) may be a good choice. Sunbird (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird/) does the same job standalone.

Using some links and help on this and/or other forums, I found a great little program that exactly addresses my needs. It's called ViaList and can be found here: http://www.vialist.com/
