Phone Pad

A message pad for those of us who answer our own phones

(Note: Professional version allows taking for messages for others...)

(c) 2002, Matthew Weinstein

This is just a little application with a few smarts for taking notes while talking on the phone. It has a to do box; a set of priorities that you can assign messages and a response field. It's very rudimentary, however. At some point I'll spend the 25 minutes needed to create the "professional" version which will feature a "To:" field. This version assumes that you are the recipient of these messages.

This program is released under the GPL. It is free, as in speech.
Use the Help menu for what little documentation there is.

Phone Pad NAQ (Never asked questions):

What features does the professional version have that the personal version doesn't?

The professional version has a field called "To:" so that someone can take messages for other people. The personal version assumes you are taking messages for yourself.

Does the professional version cost more?

Both versions are GPL'd; in fact they are exactly the same source files (though the interface files differ). The personal version is free. The professional version costs one billion times the cost of the personal version.

Are there file format problems for the two versions?

No both use the same file format. The personal version actually just fills in the To field with an empty string. Also, these are both completely compatible with version 1.0 of the software.

Can I use both programs on my machine?

I guess, but it does lead to confusion as to what program should open a given file. I recommend using one or the other.

I'm being oppressed by computer systems as a temp or receptionist, is there anything I can do?
