There are over 6 Billion people on the planet and they all want to get the most out of their short lives. Not surprisingly, a whole slew of tools, gadgets, and programs have cropped up out of this huge demand. Unfortunately, this also means there’s a lot of junk to be filtered through. This post marks the beginning of a project to document and review the software and tools used by people around the world to get things done.
The first such review is for software that I personally use each day: Agenda Fusion 8.

Starting Monday, I will be reviewing GTD and GTD-ish Software.
Software will be rated on:
1. User Interface (Easy to learn?)
2. Functionality (Features, Compatibility)
3. Conformity with GTD Principles (See here)
What do we need from you? Tell us what your favorite piece of GTD(ish) software is and why. We will begin our reviews based on this. These reviews will be posted regularly and I encourage readers to post comments on their own experiences with the software.
Please feel free to recommend software not yet listed on our GTD Software Comparison Page. Thank you!

I have been using a PDA since I first got my hands on a Palm VIIx as a kid. You know, one of those 8MB B&W models with barely enough computing power to tell me the square root of four. Five years ago, a PDA was the height of geekiness. *Takes a bow* Only complete nerds contributed in the CE vs. Palm wars. This is not the case now. Businesses, CEO’s, mothers, and even your local football jock is looking into the new world of mobility. The question on everyone’s mind is: “Which one, which one?”
Perhaps you found a reason to get a cool new Macbook Air. Maybe you’ve dreaded the inevitable but finally bought that PC simply for it’s compatibility. Whatever the reason, you now face a major issue. Your network now has more than one operating system. If you don’t care about “Geeky” things like “File Sharing” or “Printer Sharing” then this may not be an issue for you. But when you care, you really care. In this tutorial, we’ll go step-by-step through everything required to properly set up a Mac/Windows based network.
