I've been using both of them for a while and have had no problems with Comment. By the way, Imagine Software has discontinued *distributing* Smart Alarms. From what I understand, the product is alive and well and being distributed by the US branch of JAM Software, which developed Smart Alarms in Australia. Disclaimer: I have no connection with either JAM, Imagine, or Deneba (which makes Comment) other than as a satisfied customer.
