Steve,
you wrote that

...........I use a combination of PersonalBrain and OneNote for managing most of
my projects, but I could, if need be, use Zoot for that -- in fact, it could handle that
pretty well, I think.

I would be very interested in how you use personal brain. For the last week or so, I have been playing around with it and need to come to a decision whether to buy it or not. Lately I am developing a marked preference for net- or web-like information handling rather than the hierarchical outliners.

The only thing holding me back is that I am not sure how it works with lots of information - would you mind sharing your experience?
Thanks, Susanne
