Reading the posts here gives me that great buzz that you get when you find a community of people thinking about the same things you are (cognitive consonance, maybe?).

I’m using GrandView 2.0 (after originally using MORE and ThinkTank/Ready), and have 100MB+ of highly distilled .GV files dating back to ‘92 which have underlain most of my creative thinking over that period. I found outliners.com while looking for some way of living on after the DOS compatibility box disappears from Windows. Noting the heavy preponderance of Mac mavens here, I can only plead for forgiveness for having fallen from grace long ago, and ask for help anyhow…

In my dreams, I find some Windows work-alike app that will import my GV files (or .RDY or tab-indented export files), will finally allow me to beat the old DOS memory limits (I’d kill for a 1MB .GV file, let alone being able to unite all of my files long enough to efficiently find and eliminate redundancies), and give me more info on screen at once. My existing info is a serious restraint - I’m not really interested in the Next Insanely Great Thing if it means I lose access to earlier files, or have to spend months massaging them to get them into a new format.

Is there hope for me?
