Has anyone used Outlook 2003 with Business Contact Manager?

We use and ACT! and like it, but find sometimes it is slow and networking is
clunky and not real networking but just sharing back ups.

I agree we went back to 2000 after 2005 was so slow and buggy This was even
on a P4 2.4 with a gig of ram.

ACT 2005 was the absolute worst. Buggy as everything. Tech support no
real help either. I went back to ACT 2000 which works fine for what we
need at this point. Goldmine looks good but is more than I want to pay.
I think Maximizer would be a much better choice than ACT and a lot less
$$ than Goldmine.
