Stephen, that was part of what my post to Neville was about. He had suggested we should spend more time focusing on contemporary software where developers are making a real effort to be responsive to customers rather than on outdated or awkward PIMs.

I had suggested in my post that a review of our posts would indicate we in fact do as he was suggesting, with a lot of emphasis on such programs as MDE InfoHandler, ADM, Idea, UltraRecall, Brainstorm, and Evernote to name but a few.

I also wrote that my experience with Surfulater was limited because shortly after buying it I began to have the trouble with IE and all programs using an IE overlay such that some pages were render improperly. When the problem was finally remedied, two programs continued to render pages improperly: Evernote and Surfulater.

Another point I made was that I found the options for saving pages to S confusing because it wasn’t clear what each one did, and from attempting each option to see what in fact it did I was still confused.

I do not remember if I made this point or not, but I also find that the appearance of S is not very attractive. However, had I the opportunity to try it for some time without the pages rendering themselves improperly, it might have grown on me.
