SyTools 32 helps you to design expert flowcharts, maps, and many different business diagrams. The interface is completely WYSIWYG. You don't have to go hunting for the tools you need, because a floating palette offers four separate areas with tools to add shapes, text, special-effects, connectors, and images. The program's many features include rotation, alignment, flipping, 3D effects, plus adding images and colour. The Help file is short but comprehensive-make sure you check it out for features which aren't obvious, such as the Form Maker, which allows you to create professional forms.

Bill's Calendar is not a PIM; it's an easy and handy area to keep text and audio notes, and to schedule your daily tasks. The calendar and schedule can be printed, and you can even export your calendars to the Web. The program's main screen consists of a calendar; you can shrink it to hide everything but the date, so that you always have access to it-the program remembers where you put it the last time it was opened. You can have one audio "notes" file per day.
