Hi, all

A friend is looking for recommendations for cross platform software, ideally linux, MacOS-X, Microsoft - "an address book/ diary programme that can be synchronised with other computers. Ideally this would work like the old Psion one, where it can be synchronised automatically with Lotus Organizer or Microsoft Outlook on an office computer."

Any sage advice?

Jim

As I often tell my students, CGI is the ultimate cross-platform app. Your friend should check out Freshmeat.net for something suitable; there should be plenty of possibilities.
