Must have been Daytimer then. Had an assistant manager at a job that
SWORE by them, so I tried them and like it! But then the next company
I went to was the 'Franklin' one. I had also moved to outside Memphis,
and there was a mall there that had a Franklin store!

They were handy - when you loaded it up with reference information you
needed it was like carrying your own internet with you before
there was one.

Franklin tried to modify their plan to fit electronic planners - they
had a Franklin series of Palm apps, a standalone app for Windows, and
finally a series of scripts that Franklin-ized Outlook. None of them
took hold.

I kinda remember that... Before those days the PC on my desk at
work had Lotus SmartSuite and it had "Organizer" on it. I didn't use
it much, but remember it looking like an analog calendar. :-)

The apex of skeuomorphic computer design - Lotus Organizer with a

Exactly! Even tabs too, IIRC, for different letters in the contact
list. :-)
