Hi,

Does anyone know if Pocket Informant or Agenda Fusion support
"floating events" or "floating tasks?"

Thanks.

This is the difference with 'floating' events...
By definition, they aren't overdue, they are due on the
day that they are done - it's difficult to explain unless
you've used DateBk3/4/5 on a Palm machine then you'd
know how useful this function can be. It's a pity none of
the excellent third-party PIMs for Pocket PC (e.g.,
Agenda Fusion, Pocket Informant etc.) has this function.

Maybe its me thats slow cerebrated, but can you explain to me what the
difference is exactly? (in pracsis)
In both cases its a task that isn´t deleted untill the user does it?
