Susanne,

If I may just butt in here, as I'm a heavy user of Personal Brain myself, mainly for creating web sites:

- Having a lot of thoughts does not have any significant effect on performance that I have noticed. I have a glossary, for example, with >6500 thoughts, without any noticeable slowing down.
- Where there is a limit is in the size of the notes within each thought. In one of my brains I have notes which may contain >30 graphic-heavy pages. Working with these, and saving them, grinds to a halt at a certain point. For those chapters I have to use the data as an attachment instead of putting it into a note.

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?
