Question: What software is absolutely essential to you

Starting in 2008, I got a new computer that moved me from Windoze 2000 pro to Vista. In 2009 I moved from my trusty Palm Treo 680 to the Windoze Treo Pro. Then last month I purchased the HP Touchpad.

Through all these changes there were some programs I had expected to work on the new device or expected something similar. Yes, there may be alternatives to a certain degree butI have no interest in all the tweaking that invariably must be done to make the alternative program work. My list is:

1. Roboform for all of my online websites and logins.
2. NoteTab text editor. It also has a useful outliner function.
3. Bonsai outliner.
4. Lotus Wordpro. Yes, that’s correct, good old Wordpro. It works. It has all my years of templates in it. I know how it works. It is still my “go to” program when I create flyers and postcards for mailings. I’m using Atlantis word processor more for things like blog writing and stuff, but WordPro is still my fail-safe.
5. Brainstorm

BTW, If FORCED to choose Brainstorm or Bonsai I’d choose Brainstorm.
