- Yes, I use it (it came free with my old OS/2 1.2 license).
-
- I do almost exclusively use PhoneBook and sometimes the Calculator.
- Both are nice programs, the TimePlanner looks nice too, but I am too
- lazy to use it. The NotePad isn't worth being mentioned as an editor,
- because you got EPM with OS/2.
-
- Also, there are time planner and notepad apps included with OS/2
- itself and you can use the database applet as a phone book (it can
- even dial).
-
- For what SK/PM has to do, it's sufficient to be a 16-bit version, it
- does not have any performance problems.
