GoBinder 2005
Not just for students
Review by Linda A. Epstein
Hello GoBinder 2005, good by Filofax and Day Runner...
While it's true that Gobinder is designed for, and marketed for students, and there is no question that it does have exceptional special features for those still in school. The close to unlimited customization in this program is far to valuable to anyone who needs to stay organized.
Not since the day's when carrying a $500.00 Filofax filled with an assortment of Day Runner inserts and refills to was critical to survival, has there been a product that you just can't imagine being without.
Until now... and unlike a Filofax (which if lost or misplaced was a nightmare because your life was in it. ) with GoBinder 2005 you can always have a backup at your fingertips or in your saved email. You can ad pages and sections to Gobinder with the click of the mouse and even share them with your friends, family and associates.
With a little tweaking GoBinder 2005 could easily become the most usefully and valuable program for anyone who values organization.
GoBinder 2005's customization is key to the programs versatility and ease of use in any situation. To begin with Tab's can be added, removed, rearranged, relocated and re colored.
Documents from other program can be imported into GoBinder and links are created to them so that they can be searched, annotated or opened in the original program.
Course notes can be
Here is an example of how my own GoBinder is customized
Among others My own GoBinder tabs include, Calendar, Clients, Concerts, Notes and Travel and Photos. Which means I can track and see what I am doing both professionally and personally with just one program as well as share special Photos.
Unlike Outlook with a click of a button you can export all of the information or single pages in GoBinder from one computer and import to another with out jumping through hoops and everything is Mobilized.
From the Gobinder web site:
"Sure people in big companies will find GoBinder useful, but this software is 100 percent focused on helping students. Will you use it after college? Absolutely. But, GoBinder is indispensable if you're hoping to keep up in class, get better grades, and learn more during your stay on campus".

In Conclusion :
Be it a Tablet PC, Laptop or desktop GoBinder is so easy to customize and sync that it may very well become the most used program on every machine you use.
The only thing missing from Gobinder 2005 is the option for users to change the font sizes and colors and add color coding to events in calendar view it will be a perfect program.
