The problem? Say you're a huge fan of figure skating and its accompanying melodrama, but you're not so keen on the luge. How do you plan your Olympic watching? Well, the folks behind a handy little application called AnySchedule have a solution, which is why I chose it as PalmPower's Product of the Month. You can find it at http://www.quantumlynx.com/anyschedule/.

AnySchedule is designed to allow you to keep track of the schedules for all of your favorite sports teams and leagues from one application. You can download any of their schedules for free to use with the $15 AnySchedule software. They provide the schedules for all the major North American professional sports teams in baseball, football, basketball, hockey, golf, and more. You can also create your own schedules and beam them to other Palm OS handheld users.

The free trial version of the software allows you to keep only one schedule. With the registered version of AnySchedule 2.0, however, you can keep up to 99 schedules.

The reason I chose to spotlight AnySchedule this month, however, is the fact that they have just released the schedules for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, as shown in Figure A.

FIGURE A

AnySchedule provides the schedules for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.

It's available as a free download, and if that's the only schedule you need, then you can get by with the free trial version of the software. If you're a real sports fan, though, you won't mind plunking down the $15 to get the full version in order to access the schedules for all your favorite teams.

Then kick back and cheer for your homeland as they go for the gold!
