A good idea but I know where my time would be going:

Time spent:
Browsing PPC Thoughts, 3 hours
Dilbert 1/2 hour
Other websites 1 hour
Freecell 3 hours
Wandering yard 1 hour
Making coffee 1 hour
Reading and sending private email 1 hour
Doing work 1/2 hour


It's all in a days work

while i'm sure it's full featured and a very refined piece of software, it still bugs me that as soon as you add "Business" to any part of the title or description, the price shoots up 50% as they ride on the thought that people will simply write it off as a business expense.

too bad... :cry:

looks like a good product. I am looking for something very similar but one that will suck data out of Outlook. All my appointments are categorized by project so I have most of where my time is going recorded there. Don't want to repeat the effort. Any thoughts?

A sad fact of life I'm afraid. Businesses make a living measuring costs versus value/benefit and these types of business-geared applications can typically can potentially yield trememdous profits if it provides cost-benefits.

$76 is a hefty price, but from a business perspective, it could pay for itself even if it only resulted in 30 minute savings for a service professionals working on a fixed-price project.
