"I just want to say "thanks" for making a simple,
practical, easy-to-use and most of all, AFFORDABLE
contact management program.
"I used to use ACT until about 2006 and by then
they had overcomplicated it and loaded it down
with so many features that to learn how to use it
properly, week long classes were offered (for an
additional fee...)
"Intellect gets down to basics of contact
management and is not overloaded. The ease of
e-mail integration is something I always looked
for but could never find in a way that I liked.
[...]
"I look forward to seeing your upcoming products,
updating to a palm version when I decide to
splurge, and use the hosting service (genius
again!) when I eventually increase my sales with
your product. This makes you all true partners in
my business."

"The problem with Chaos Software is that one grows
to expect the same great product support and
upgrades from other software creators, and then
one invariably winds up disappointed by them.
Thanks for years of great service and a much more
organized me!!!"

"It's wonderful. I have enjoyed your software for
many years, and it just continues to improve and
work with me.
"I really like the Whidbey with colorful
captions--very rich and legible. I use Lucida sans
in extra large fonts and love it.
"Thank you for continuing to polish this application."

"I have been a user of your software for a number
of years and just wanted to tell you that beyond
the neat enhancements already incorporated into
3.0.3.5, the blue color is truly fantastic. For
what ever reason, it makes your excellent product
appear even more professional! I have permanently
replaced my dependence/usage on MS Office with
Chaos Intellect."
---- Claude Pratte
(9/10/2008)
"3.0.3.5 version of Chaos Intellect is easy on the
eyes the new look is GREAT real professional.
A great looking professional display on my

"WOW!!! I have been using T&C since ver 6 and have
been amazed at how well every thing works.
Upgraded to Intellect about 18 months ago and
everything just got better with the memory stick
sync. I recently up-graded to a blackberry for
corporate email functions, and tried Companionlink
to sync my contacts, appts, and todo notes. I no
longer have to keep an appt book on paper. The
sync is tremendous. I cannot say enough about
these programs. Keep up the excellent work."

"I am an attorney and tried other products
specifically for attorneys and/or law offices;
however, they can't hold a candle to your product
and support. At worst it's half the price of other
software at best, it's only a small fraction of
the cost of competing software. But the best
things about the software is that: first, it's
very easy to use and/or learn to use; second, the
company has tutorials on-line to walk you through
how to use certain aspects of the program if you
don't understand the help menu; third, it
integrates with other software extremely easy (ie.
MSOffice or OpenOffice); fourth, tech support is
fantastic - they actually answer the telephone
within minutes and usually can walk you through
and problem your having; fifth, the
comprehensiveness of the program is amazing - from
emails to contact management - everything is at
your fingertips (the more you use it makes you
wonder how you ever did without something like it
in past; sixth, even though it can do an amazing
amount, it's still a small program and needs very
little ram to operate quickly on your computer
unlike ACT!; seventh, and last, I looked around at
a lot of contact management programs and Intellect
can [do] everything the "big boys" can do - if it
can't, you probably don't need that feature anyway
or it's why the other program bogs your computer
down to the point it can barely operate."
---- Fred Freitag

"I was a long time user of ACT! when they were
bought by Sage I found the later version were
unusable for our small company. Started with T&C
and recently switched to Intellect. I love it!. I
particularly like that it will allow me to carry
my entire data base in a USB memory chip. That
alone blows ACT! away, but the usability and speed
of the program are outstanding.
"If that weren't enough, when I've had a problem
and called - some actually answered the phone and
helped me!!!! That's unheard of in this day and
age. Thank you Chaos Software."
---- Frank Kaplan
(6/20/2008)
"I am a new user of Intellect and am still
learning the program. In fact, I had a silly
question because I could not figure something out
and ended up having to call the tech support line.
My question was answered by a pleasant and
knowledgeable person after only a brief period on
hold. That was good but for me the icing on the
cake was after I discovered that Intellect will
interface with OpenOffice. When I first installed
Intellect I noticed the MS Word Icon on the tool
bar and thought to myself, "It is really too bad
that software developers don't recognize the
excellent text module in OpenOffice as an
alternative to Word. So when I found today that I
actually had a choice under Tools/Options I almost
did a back flip out of my chair! So I tip my hat
to you for not only developing a quality software
product at a fair price, but also for your forward
thinking in regards to the world not being flat
and MS not being the only game in town, so to
speak. I am eager to continue learning this new
software tool and discovering the different ways
it can help me to multiply my efforts. Oh, and to
that end, the online tutorials are top-notch. I
have been using PCs for many years and I've bought
many software products over that time, and I can
tell you that innovation (in software) generally
does not come from huge corporations. Instead it
comes from small dedicated companies or groups
that set out to fill some need and focus on that
until they hit the mark. In my opinion, I believe
that Intellect has hit the mark."

"I have been using Chaos for years for home use.
I never thought I would give up Outlook Express
for e-mail. Since I purchased Chaos Intellect I
think it is the best e-mail program I ever used."

"I am a user of ACT for over 10 years including a
former ACT Consultant. I am done with ACT and I
can't believe this product and my luck to have
found it.
I would have paid much more for it. The program
does everything ACT does and so much more. Please
believe me when I say I have done a thorough eval
of this product and it does EVERYTHING ACT does
and more. It does it better and the email tool
versus ACT or even most other emails is FAR SUPERIOR.
"If you are considering this product or are just
worried abouut migrating from ACT just go forward
with the purchase. I can't say enough good things.
"The CHAOS Team has permission to give my email
out to any ACT user worried about migrating."
---- Kevin Schuyler
(2/21/2008)
"I cannot adequately express my thanks to you for
the difference this product has made to me. It is
very rare that something exceeds your expectations
as much as this program has exceeded mine. I am
now running my business - my business is not
running me. I tried the trial version and bought
Time and Chaos 7 within days. A couple of weeks
later I have upgraded to Intellect. At first I was
going to use my old email program with Chaos 7,
but I love the interface and speed of the program
so much I decided to upgrade to Intellect. It was
a very wise choice."

"I started with T&C back in 1995, loved it, but
kept on hunting for the "perfect" pim - none of
them ever had "exactly" what I wanted. Since then,
Time & Chaos and now Intellect and I have grown
together. With all that I do and all that
Intellect does for me, we have now become the
"Perfect" PIM. Thank You!"

"As a coach, I work with people who value time,
efficiency and effectiveness. Understandably,
those things are important to me as well. I had
the dilemma of using a variety of software
programs to accomplish a range of business and
personal tasks. Surveying what was available and
their best features, none quite did everything
that I had been looking for. Then I discovered
Chaos !ntellect. It offers what I was looking for
(and more) without being overwhelming. It didn't
take long to learn how to use the basic functions
or to import e-mail, appointments and other
records from my computer and PDA. I can manage
multiple e-mail accounts, scheduling, and contacts
easily. Any initial questions have been adequately
answered through the Help system or by live
technical help (without waiting!). I don't know
why they call the company Chaos but it certainly
has brought more efficiency and effectiveness to
my personal and business practices."

"!ntellect has become the heartbeat of our
accounting practice. When a client event happens,
it's logged in !ntellect. On later calls, I simply
click on the contact while on the phone and the
history is right there. !ntellect really helps us
personalize our service.
"Unlike the pointless feature bloat of other
programs, !ntellect keeps adding features the are
immediately useful. With each release, I find a
slick new feature that I can't imagine I did
without. Good work folks!"

"Longtime user of Time & Chaos, new Chaos
Intellect user. Was skeptical at first, but after
two weeks use, I decided I couldn't live without
it and happily purchased a license for it.
Intellect integrated seamlessly with my original
T&C data. I found the email interface surprisingly
robust and have totally dumped my MS Outlook
client in favor of Intellect. Damn good product!!
Keep up the good work."
---- Joe Sak
(11/14/2007)
"I too started with Time and Chaos many years ago.
It, combined with Calypso, gave me advantage on
keeping life together. I then became quite
disabled, and it was useful at home. Now, I have a
computer at my bedside, as well as the primary one
in my office. So, I've used the flash drive
option. I never worry about losing a message or an
appointment as I go between the two. This software
is awesome! As a volunteer now I run a mailing
list and do mail merges - easy peasy - thanks ever
so much. I love to be useful, and you guys help!"
---- Laurie Miller
(10/22/2007)
"At last, the software I was looking for...
"In my younger days, I used Contact Plus. A DOS
based simple contact manager that had the feel of
!ntellect.
15 years ago , I could already dial-up, do word
processor and fax merge.
Later, I was puzzled that these time saving
features would be lost in new programs.
"Then, by necessity, I became an Act! 2005 user (I
was wise not to go for v2007).
It is doing its job OK, but how cumbersome and slow!
SQL server eat up so much memory, and never gives
it back, even when Act! is shut down.
When my database reached 2300 contacts, I had to
reboot my computer at mid-day to get back free
memory and not start using the virtual memory on
the hard drive! (I had 750 Mo installed).
"Also, once or twicce a year, the Act! dababase
got corrupted for any reason. Then, it was 1 or 2
days of manual unsinstall, with access to the
registry and countless calls to uncompetent and
careless tech support, to get it back to work.
"I was (and still am) to some extent very worried
to switch to one single software for contact
management and emails...
"I have tried !ntellect for two weeks already, in
parallel with Act!
""What a change!
"!ntellect is compact and powerful.
"Searches and playing with Tasks takes 1 or 2
seconds, not 30+ like with Act!
"I estimate that I save 15 minutes per day just
because it is fast and I do not have to reboot.
In other words, this means about 10 days per year !
"Then you can add up productivity,
because of the mail program and the dial-up
features...
"Finally, even Act! is running faster together
with !ntellect, because I use less SQL requests.
The access to contact pages do not load-up the
memory so much!
"So guys, keep up the good work."
---- Philippe Didier

"I used to work with Time & Chaos many years ago
as a contact management solution and found it to
be just brilliant at the time. Having recently
moved back to the new product Chaos Intellect I
couldn't be happier - Goodbye Outlook forever!
Intellect allows all staff to operate individual
Email but work from consolidated Contacts and
Calendars, removing duplication of function and
letting everyone make real time updates to clients
data and appointments. Mapping all activity back
to the contact, including email traffic is just a
great feature, and the categories facilities are
brilliant for sorting clients for different
marketing approaches etc. Currently snycing data
to both mobile phone and Ipaq PDA via ChaosSync
for Outlook couldn't be easier. Can't believe I
ever left, couldn't be happier to be back!"
---- Warren McGregor
(8/13/2007)
"I'm still amazed by your Intellect program! It's
like a word processor for names. I'm stunned by
how easy it is to keep track of my contacts, my
appointments, associated emails and notes. I deal
with lots of different people in several different
businesses, and it's so easy to move people from
one database to another, reschedule appointments
and find someone I've lost in the database. I
couldn't keep track of everything without your
program! AND the technical support is second to none!"

rescheduled like a breeze. I couldn't be happier
with a Contact Manager!"
---- "Gary Molatore"
(3/27/2007)
"Intellect is truly a marvel!I It makes managing
my contacts so much easier than Time and Chaos and
that program was far superior to anything else
I've used. And the email organization in Intellect
is such a time saver, I'm simply amazed! I've used
a lot of contact managers and even customized ACT
to suit my needs. It still doesn't even come close
to what any of your programs will do. I compare it
to driving a car for years with the dashboard
instruments covered, and suddenly realizing all
that information is there showing you the
tachometer, your speed, gas gauge, mileage and
engine temperature, but you've never seen it
organized all in one place like that before. A
real eye-opener to say the least!"

"I have been using Time & Chaos since ver 2 came
out and each version of the software gets better.
"Just when I think you have finished, you come out
with Intellect, now I have the power of email &
contacts within 1 Fabulous Program.
"I have to keep track of contacts and emails for 5
different sets of databases with scheduling and
reminders set up 2 yrs in advance plus keep track
of 3 web based email address where I had to go log
in and download manually.
"Well not any more, the new intellect, checks
every email account on my web site every 5 minutes
and downloads them in a snap to my inbox and the
ToDo list is set up to show all expiring
certifications at the beginning of every month. I
now have over 2500 contacts within my databases
and 1500 appointments with notes attached and
Intellect keeps it all in order.
"I can't believe its only $ 60.00, what a bargain,
I would of gladly paid double for a program of
this caliber. Without a doubt, this is the best
program in the World.

"I have used Time & Chaos since the early
nineties, and I loved it from the start. I have
run many companies in that time and have never
hesitated in recommending the software to my
business friends. I do not think I could organize
my life or work without it anymore. Intellect,
however, is a revelation, it added the only
missing piece to what is a superb job in softwre
design. Thank you Chaos Software!"
---- Jim Fuller

"With the addition of e-mail capabilities this is
beyond doubt the best PIM on the market. Probably
the most useful piece of software I have
installed. I use it to administer a high-end
subscriptions for approx. 140 members, and it is
perfect for the job. Can't recommend it too highly"
---- Bill Dampier
(2/14/2007)
"For the past three years, I have been searching
the internet for a good "organizing" program. I
went through several different programs, and was
very disappointed in all of them. One day, I did a
Google search to find a more appropriate program
and Chaos came up. I downloaded and installed the
trial, and I experienced a period of ecstasy. The
program was everything I wanted, with forums and
fast customer support for the program. This
program does everything I could ever want -- It
has integrated email features, a appointment and
task module, and a good memo / lists feature. This
is easily the best $60.00 I have ever spent and I
wouldn't hesitate to recommend this program to my
friends and family. Having been through several
different programs that were very popular, I know
that Chaos blows them out of the water. Chaos is
easily the best. Buy this program."

"Chaos !ntellect. What a pleasant change! After
using Act for about five years I was convinced, a
few months ago, to upgrade to Act 2007. What a
disaster that turned out to be. It's a painfully
slow monstrosity with some great features that
don't work very well. After three months of
waiting for it to "Act" and fighting with it I web
searched for "Contact Management Software" and
found Chaos Intellect. It does everything I need
to do, does it effectively and runs fast.
Importing my Act database (635 records) into
Intellect was easy and I'm not computer smart
beyond what I have to do everyday. I have already
recommended it to friends. Excellent! Thanks for
making my workday better."

"Boy, you guys weren't kidding when you said you
were Vista ready. You are more Vista ready than
Microsoft was. I just upgraded to Vista,
yesterday, (why, me, why me!!!), and I must say
Chaos Intellect was a delightful surprise in a
myriad of otherwise unpleasant discoveries.
"Not only is it Vista ready but it seems even
better in Vista than it was in XP, could it be? or
am I in some PVTSS (post Vista traumatic stress
syndrome) daze?

there - I have been using your software for ever,

was good. One of my (and my client's) biggest

Received. I can delete an e-mail and find it later
under the contact. Awesome!!"

things can be customized for what I do and need.

"Downloaded free copy yesterday, tried it out, and
purchased registered copy today. All of my T&C
data transferred over like a breeze, requiring no
effort on my part.
"I'm a eight-year daily user of T&C, and Intellect
has certainly improved things through revision of
daily, weekly, and monthly reviews. I particularly
like daily view screen which shows all the
essentials in one spot. Addition of notes section
a plus. Online help a supper addition also.
"Integration of email a nice addition. I have been
an off/on user of Express Plus, my inconsistency
due to software conking out to often.(Its current
state for past several days.) However, I
successfully set up an account and have been
sending/receiving email throuh Intellect with no
problems.
"To sum things up, Intellect is certainly a great
new product and it appears it will be a excellent
investment."
