I have decided I must be afflicted with a new mental disorder I'm calling compulsive reactive information management purchase, or CRIMP. I came to this diagnosis as I was contemplating the number of IM programs I have bought in the past few years. I decided to list them (using BrainStorm, of course). After I compiled my initial list, I found three additional ones I'd forgotten about just on my desktop at work... who knows what I'll find on my home computer:

HyperClip

InfoStore

InfoTree32

Inspiration

ListPro*

Literary Machine

MyBase

MyInfo

NoteMap

Maybe they will run a telethon for me.

Thank you Steve,

My own CRIMP symptoms follow; I assume that the asterisk signifies programs currently in use.

B-Liner*
BrainStorm*
HyperClip*
IdeasPad
InfoMapping FSProWord
MindGenius
MyBase
Personal Brain*
Time & Chaos
Time Calendar*
UltraRecall*

In addition I've obtained the following from magazine covers (not necessarily a cheaper alternative):
allCLEAR
ConceptDraw
MindManager 2002

..and am currently contemplating purchase of
Axon Idea Processsor
OneNote
MyInfo

Notwithstanding, I have actually rejected (well, almost, the trial versions are still installed) purchase of the following; I think this is a sign of presence of antibodies:
Webplanet Concept X7
MDE Infohandler

Finally, it's interesting to note that I have used extensively some freeware / open source programs without feeling I'm missing something; I think this represents a drug substitute strategy.
