   James you didn't make any mention of what kind of information you are keeping

   track of in the notebook system you now keep. I can imagine your keeping contact

   lists but beyond that it could be just about anything. I know from writing

   some custom database applications for a few different contractors that different

   a business keep different sets of information. A little more specifics on

   you part and I am sure everybody will have more ideas and suggestions for

   you.

   However I know a lot of contractors who

   use ACT! – Contact

   Management software ($189.00, I think) and an add-on enhancement designed

   specifically

   for called

   BetterACT!published by 9dots, Inc. ($189.00 ). That's about the extent of what I know about

   that since I don't use it (it's for Windows only and I'm on a Mac).

   For the Mac there is a new Contact Management CRM application out called Daylite from

   a company called MarketCircle that I've been looking at the demo version of

   and I'm pretty impressed with and would probably recommend ($149.00 ). I don't

   use it

   yet only

   because

   I've

   developed

   my

   own Contact Management CRM solution using FileMaker Pro that works well for

   all the different kinds of things we do and is not just limited to Contact

   Management. I am however considering integrating the two together but that's

   a whole other

   story.

   Anyway if you could tell us all more about what you do and what you specifically

   need to keep track of I am sure there are a lot of answers here on BreakTime

   for you.
