I still like OmniFocus, and use it every day. I admit being a little disappointed that they charge for iPhone, iPad and Mac independently, but I'm past that now. Anything specific you'd like to know?

Actually, John, I recently did switch to OmniFocus (see http://amasur.me/20091026/a..., and I'm very happy with it. Thanks.

Hi Michael,
It looks like we need to figure out which Mac/iPhone applications would be best for your ongoing organizing needs, and that the critical factor for you is the initial import. I totally understand that situation.

Unfortunately, I don't have experience with the Palm desktop application, so I don't know the file formats that it will export. But I'm pretty sure that with some data manipulation, we would be able to find a way to get the data migrated.

Regarding OmniFocus, there is little information in their help about importing, but there is some. I found this post which seems to indicate that OmniFocus is able to import files created by OmniOutliner, and the OmniOutliner will import CSV files. They both have free trials, so I would download both applications and try this:

1) Export your ToDo's from the Palm Desktop to CSV
2) Import the CSV into OmniOutliner
3) Import the OmniOutliner file into OmniFocus

Regarding Notes, I'd use Evernote. Again, there will be some data manipulation involved. Evernote supports importing their special XML format, but it looks like it would be fairly easy to replicate their XML format using Excel or Numbers.

So, based on my 30 minutes of searching, it doesn't look like there is a completely clean, easy way to import everything, but I'm pretty confident that we could find a solution. Since I don't have access to the Palm Desktop, I can't really do any real testing on my own, but I'd be happy to explore your options with you.

If you're up to a little trial and error, and would be willing to export and share some of your data with me, I'd be happy to see if we can find something that works.

Fair enough. I appreciate the fact that someone is out there looking for and responding to feedback like this.

Finally figured it out. Apparently, some special characters are not allowed in passwords when logging in through the blog, that are allowed when logging in directly on the site.

I'm having a similar problem. Installed Disqus, and activated the plug-in on my blog, but I am not able to login. I can login to the Disqus site just fine, using FF or IE, but can not login from within my Wordpress blog dashboard.

Ready to give up on Disqus, unless someone has a solution.
Thanks,
