I stumbled across this site looking for old Mac hardware.
I first used a Macintosh in 1987 as a film intern. It was a Mac512KE and the first program I used was ThinkTank. Shortly thereafter we upgraded to MORE.

Having never really used a computer before, I had nothing for comparing MORE, but it convinced me that computers were cool tools for aiding in the thinking process.

Since then, I have been awed by many programs, but I have never stopped using MORE. I was shocked to find a website devoted to outliners, and someone out there extolling the virtues of this little program which has long since been forgotten by the general populace.

I use MORE to keep budgets and to write short stories and organize a humongous outline for a novel. I also use it for a To Do list, for calls, you name it.

As for the future of outliners, I have seen nothing as elegant as MORE, and I do look out for new outliners from time to time. Word’s is clumsy at best. IdeaLine was too simple, etc. I still think most people would switch to an outliner if they were introduced to one, and there are just none out there to do the job.

Anyway, I will check back to see what others have to say. It would be nice to talk to someone who still uses this amazingly versatile program, since I have not found anyone who knew what it was for THIRTEEN YEARS!!!
