Hi Joe,

PIM = Personal Information Manager. In other words a "pre defined" database
with things like the ability to send email and/or create form letters.
Often the commonly used "fields" such as Name and Adress are pre defined.
Some Pim's allow the end user to add a certain number of fields specific to
the users needs. Piano Manager is one such predfined pim--but I don't think
it allows any user added fields.

Pim's are generally thought of as "light duty" databases. They are often
menu driven. They are not quite so flexible as a "roll your own" database
such as Access--but they also don't come with a 40 to 60 hour "learning
curve".
