I have just realised that in my earlier comments about Brainstorm I was not in fact commenting about Brainstorm. The first time I looked into it when JBfrom started posting here and when I looked at his posts I assumed that his Cyborganize system and Org Mode and Emacs was Brainstorm. When I was looking at those links I just couldn’t get my head around it. But I have just downloaded Brainstorm from http://www.brainstormsw.com/ and that looks a lot more straightforward. So apologies and ignore anything I said about not understanding Brainstorm.
