[clue-talk] New PIM for Linux found...

[Kevin Cullis]

Matt,

Your thoughts are well founded and I agree with most of them, but my 
email was more of letting others know of the Linux version of it that I 
was not aware of until today. Currently I'm on the hunt for Outlook 
alternatives and other software that are open source or commercial, free 
or low cost, and cross platform for small business owners. Whether I 
like it becomes personal preference and at the moment I don't have the 
time for reviewing the product.  But someone  on the list might be 
interested enough in it to try it out. Once I've found a list of the 
alternatives, then maybe I'll go in for the kill (of getting rid of 
Outlook) and move on. I prefer to find gems of some quality rather than 
diamonds in the rough.

I don't look at looking great at first, but is it functional.  Too often 
looking great makes things less functional and I want to get things done.
