Cia, thanks for the suggestion. KDEPim certainly seems fit for the bill, 
except for the fact that it expects its user to insert entries by date, while 
what I wanted is to insert entries by name (i.e., by customer). Time and 
calendars would be an important part of that, no doubt; but not the main 
focus. However, I'll check to see what can I do with that.

Thanks again and blessings,


Eduardo
