	Well of course you should make this available.  I will gladly look at it 
very closely when you do.

	Yes, infolog allows you to log phone calls and such.  What I envision is 
something that would tap into this database as well as the calendar and 
e-mail system.  See, infolog to me is not useful as it is.  I believe that 
you need to be able to go to a particular person in the addressbook (or cdb 
or whatever) and see what activities have taken place with relation to that 
person (activities with me or with the people who I manage, etc.).  Then 
you should be able to go to an organization and see what activities have 
taken place with regard to the entire organization, grouped perhaps by date 
or by people in the organization, etc.  And finally, I don't really want to 
have to enter stuff manually into a log all day long.  I want it to be as 
automatic as possible, which I don't think infolog is.

	So infolog has some functionality along these lines, but I would envision 
a grander system with the contact database as the core interface.
