thanks - from the article:
"What we really need is database software that stops worrying about
forms and views, and starts integrating user data into part of an
overall workflow. That's the beauty of Address Book and iCal - you put
your data there, and it automagically appears elsewhere as needed
throughout all of your Mac OS X applications. Bento provides cosmetic
integration from those sources, but doesn't create integration
toanywhere else. The poker session I wrote about above is
simultaneously an iCal event (when), a Quicken entry (how much), and a
separate bit of autonomous data that I want to work with on its own
merit (where). If I want that data to appear in all three places, I
have to build that third place (in FileMaker or Excel, because Bento
doesn't provide sufficient tools), and then enter the date in each
application separately."
