    While a very basic GTD system may TECHNICALLY be able to be implemented using Backpack, it would be a chore. For this reason, I'm not sure it really belongs in a list of GTD software. Thoughts anybody?

    I checked it out further, and this is what I find:

    Description: Information organizer and simple Intranet with calendar, email integration, and reminders, by 37 Signals.

    Not GTD compliant: No context, tag, or label support, and no way to handle Project: Next Step methodology.

    I believe categorization was possible via a folder structure, but it would have to be navigated manually. I was iffy on this one anyway, so if you think this just doesn't meet the cut, I'm not going to argue.
