IH seems the perfect embodiment of the assertion that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Daly seems to thrive in an environment that allows for (even demands) that you classify your data as you capture/create it. I, on the other hand, am not good at anticipating how I may want to recall my information. I don’t want to have to classify my information when I capture/create it, prefering a system that gives me easy options for finding it later, despite the fact that I haven’t classified it yet, beyond figuring out which database to dump it into. This is why Zoot is so attractive to me.

I am still toying with UR, because it seems to me to offer some of the same power as Zoot, but with the bonus of text formatting. Its current inability to open more than one database at a time (and consequent inability to search more than one database at a time) is its major drawback as far as I can see so far. I doubt, however, that it will replace Zoot in my heart or on my computer, because Zoot still has the easiest data capture around. I would use UR as a replacement for InfoSelect.
