Hi folks,

  I am experimenting with IQ and have some general impressions. I am an Engineer by education so I like playing around with software. However, I am a Program Manager by trade and I need a PIM that "stays out of the way" and makes it easy to manage my data. I would prefer not to have to go through several steps to get non-text data into IQ. I'd like to drag and drop an EXCEL file, not convert it to CSV and the go through a lengthly import process. Same is true with Outlook email. I'd like to drag and drop an email into IQ and have it automatically parse the to/from/cc/subject/body data. Same thing for Word. Convert the body to HTML and parse the author/date created/date saved/etc data for me.

  I know this sounds critical but I'm to the point where I need PIM software to be easy to use. I can't afford the time to convert from one format to another. This is the main reason that I stayed away from ZOOT 6. It does everything but you need to know all the tricks to make it perform. I see the power of IQ and I hope that what I described is the direction that it is headed. I will continue to play because, like I said, I am an engineer by heart!

  Oh, one more thing. The portable version is a must have for me. However, if the add-ons require admin rights to install, then I can't use them. Keep all the parts of the software portable. Keep up the great work. This is how we find the gold nuggets of software!
