I need to use a single "To Do" or "Task List" that I can view and update oneither machine so I trawled Google looking for a suitable "bridge". EPIM was the first choice as it was very close to MS Office and therefore quick to adapt to. However the USB "Portable Pro" version turned out to be a "trial" version which stopped working after 500 entries - so back to my google list! (later found out that there is a free unlimited version)

There are a number of very light-weight task-management applications that are very intuitive and easy to adopt. Bottom of my list was a program called Chaos Manager. The screen layout was different to the all the rest and I didn't feel comfortable, but I persevered and was rewarded for my efforts.

The program offers the following:
Password access
Appointments, with reminders
Calendar showing appointments, birthdays, holidays etc
Notebook, divided by category
Contacts, divided by category plus a birthday reminder!
A Calculator
Setup - with 22 skins, very easy to configure.

The website www.chaosmanager.net has a forum and the designer/builder is happy to take on board suggestions for improvement.

First glance is deceiving - persevere and you will be rewarded!

Spend some time in "set-up" and review the documentation - it's all common sense. The only difference between this package and other To Do lists is screen presentation - it is different and therefore off-putting to the casual observer, but once you have tried a few features, everything just clicks into place!
