My Usage of PersonalBrain - Or how I manged to got (almost) cured from CRIMPING

So I just upgraded to version 7, and was a bit surprised to learn there will be a subscription of $159 a year in the future (it cost me $99 this time) to stay licensed with the Pro version WITH the WebBrain synchronization. That feels like a lot of money to spend annually, but I’ll probably do it because TheBrain is that useful for me. Also, my desktop license will not expire if I decide not to renue, so that’s comforting.

I’d like the fee to be lower, but I also want the company to stay in business and continue to improve their product, so I’m willing to pay the price. Good software that’s well documented and has a long history of development is not always easy to find. Still, I wonder if TheBrain’s new pricing policy will cost them customers—as it seems to have with Alexander.

Anyway, the new version has some nice new features. The link system has gotten a lot more powerful. The calendar has been enhanced. And—this part I like the best—the syncing feature is much faster.
