I can't afford that, anyone want to add it to their christmas list for me? :lol:

$US20???? wow.. thats a lot for this.. at $6.95 - $9.95 this would be a nicer..

There's a lot of "list" style apps out there that could double up for this functionality - ie. ListPro

[Candygogo]

Reason for asking is that they have a Gift list program for free. In fact, all of their programs are free (you have to install some .dlls). Granted, they aren't as 'pretty' as more commercial programs, but it beats paying $20. :D

The screenshots make this look impressive, but a few minutes in ListPro to setup this type of thing is the way for me... :roll:

Gift giving would be a list for me.
name
occassion
gift
notes
That simple, a list software can do that. Actually, probably some finance softwares can do that. :roll:
20 bucks? not me.

Sounds useful as I suffer from a similar memory affliction to Brad's, but I concur that $20USD is overpriced. Until the price drops a bit, I'll continue to use ListPro.

I'm a sucker for great-looking, colorful GUI, so I think I'd have been more tempted to spend the money for this (as opposed to using ListPro), if only they'd made it a little flashier.

Actually, I can see how ListPro might not be the most elegant solution to the problem. However, it's possible that something like a wallet program might be a closer approximation to this type of functionality.
