Get organized with Life Balance
"Let's see. It's four o'clock and I'm in Ridgewood at the doctor's office. I'm meeting somebody at six o'clock for dinner. What should I do in the meantime?" Most of us ask ourselves these questions far too often. Life Balance, a new Palm OS program from Llamagraphics, encourages these kinds of questions, and even helps you come up with useful answers. When you buy a piece of software, you don't usually expect that it's going to ask you to think deeply about your life and what you want it to be about. Bob Freud shows us in this article, however, that Life Balance isn't most software. [PalmPower Magazine, February 2000]

A first look at the Palm VII

If you want answers to these questions and more, read this no-holds-barred product review by Contributing Editor Bob Freud. [PalmPower Magazine, June 1999]
