Dear Alexander, Dear All

Greetings from the new member of this great list!

Alexander, could you please elaborate a bit which tools you had in mind saying:
> there are tools out there that can help them do much more than just give a "professional look" to their dissertation.

I came from an academic sector/social sciences, already tried programs like Mind Manager, Ultra Recall, Keynote, Scholar's Aid, but were not satisfied. None of them fulfills my need to have a simply, intuitive manager of information stored on my computer with ability co create 'virtual folders' of files needed for a given project, to annotate and categorise them, to add related emails and links to web pages etc.

Best regards,

Hi Wojciech,

I think the answer to your prayers will be Zoot. Check out the discussion there has been in this forum, and on the zootforum on yahoo groups.

I would also support trying Zoot.

It has its annoyances, the major ones hopefully being fixed when the 32 bit version appears, but having tried the rest, I keep on coming back to Zoot.

The 32 version is now complete and is in the de-bugging stage.
