Admins: I didn't see a post on this before, if it's a repeat I apologize...
But if not, for anyone in school right now you might want to give "Pocket Homework" by MagnoSoft a try:
http://pocket.magnosoft.vze.com/
It's free (beta), based on the .NET framework, and for simple tracking it's much more convenient than Outlook Tasks :)
(of course, if anyone has suggestions on student software they prefer, much welcomed and appreciated!)
