I don't know about other desk accessories, but I have used 
Sidekick from Borland International and can not stand it.  As far
as I can see it is a piece of junk.
Jerry Pournelle of Byte Mag. and some other magazines have had
rave reviews of it and I disagree and I really think they did not
put it into a good test.

The problems that I have noticed are:

	1- If you delete an appointment and try to print the appointments
for that day, it dumps the core on your printer.  I called them about this.
Their response: it is a known bug.  Will you fix it?, maybe maybe not.
I hardly think this is a small  bug.  It is a serious one.  Jerry Pournell
and others who say they cann't do without it should spend a little bit more
time with the stupid thing.

	2- It has serious problems being resident with programs such as
mailmerge of wordstar, etc.  This isn't a small problem.

	
I have said enough.  Caveat Emptor!!!!!!
