Yes, this does seem to make the same privacy problem as in 1), but at least your data are not in a centralized spot and noone needs to know that they are really somewhere. Any ideas? Kind regards Marchal I just had a quick look at backpack, but there are some points I would like to discuss:

The more I use Backpack the more I like it. It's nice and simple. Not a world-changing application, but it doesn't have to be.

I use the lists lots to keep track of to-dos and use notes to make notes (how surprising) about the stuff I need to get done (things to tell people, colour choices, etc.) If I was on the go more, I'd make heavy use of the SMS feature, but since I work at home for now there's no sense in using cell phone time... Love the new site, Keith. Everyone needs tools to make them productive, it's nice to have a place to discuss them. Backpack is a great tool for maintaining productivity.
