have a process AND apps to implement it, then it's an uphill battle
for sure.
For the way I work (80% at my computer), there were a few features of
THL that killed any other alternative - I really needed that speed and
flexibility that RTM didn't give me. The 20% away does sting but I
don't even have an iTouch yet.
I think a fairly straightforward mapping might happen with ToodleDo
(RTM could handle the Smart Folders, but not ToodleDo, from what I
see), so if we could sync with that and use the ToodleDo (or
PocketInformant!!) apps on the go that might even be better yet.
It didn't sound like you were telling others how to work, I just
didn't understand your comment on revenue. It will come, and likely
more so, if people wait until after 1.0.
