The Color tab
The Color tab is a very thoughtful touch. It allows you to assign a different color to entries that have been checked or flagged. This is shown in Figure L.

Power user features
For a program to earn a permanent spot on my palm-sized PC, it has to be flexible. When I begin to feel like I'm bumping into walls, it's time to uninstall and look elsewhere. That hasn't happened with ListPro 2.0. Its only limitations are my own creativity and ingenuity. I like that. It works for me, with me, and doesn't get in the way with a lot of ifs, ands, or buts. It performs beyond my expectations, and allows me to get the job done, no matter how frivolous or important. Here's a list of some of the ListPro features that make this program shine:

• You can add columns to your list at any time;
• Color has been used to good effect -- flagged or checked items can appear in another color;
• It has an unlimited notes feature;
• Columns can easily be resized;
• You have control over font size and style;
• There's a powerful Category feature that allows you to sort items within a list based on your criterion;
• You can cut and paste with ease;
• There's an unlimited file size;
• You can click a column head to sort your entries;
• It's easy to save and share data;
• Two-Step shopping lists are very flexible.

And that ain't all
If it were, it would certainly be enough. But Ilium has gone one step further and provided a means for users to exchange lists with each other. They call it the List Exchange. Users of ListPro can download, free of charge, lists created by other users. Currently, there are over 50 lists available, covering a wide range of topics and interests. And I do mean wide -- these lists go from Beanie Babies, to sports schedules, to Cisco routers, to mnemonic tips and back. There's something for everybody here. Once you download a list, you can customize it and make it your own.

And finally, ListPro 2.0 costs just $24.95. And there's a 30-day free trial, so that you can try before you buy. And get this: if during that 30 days you create a list that's added to the List Exchange, the program is free. Isn't that cool?
