Hi: I’m a new member. Sorry for crashing in.

Like lots of others in these emails, I started with PC Outline and ended up with MaxThink, an outliner that seemed clunky and clumsy at first sight and first use yet became 2nd nature to me as I used it. It’s a great program.

When I moved to a Mac I was desperate for a good outliner and In Control delivered all that and more. Here in the UK if you could find it at all it was in the bargain bins of stuff they were almost giving away. I can’t help feeling that In Control shows that an elegant, fast outliner is possible in a GUI environment.

Few people have any conception of the power and usefulness of a good outliner, whatever machine or platform’s involved. Everyone else I talk to mistakenly seems to think they don’t need a dedicated outliner if they’ve mastered the outline function in their WP.
