I’m sorry to hear that you got brain damage from a heart attack. My damage came from a hemorrhage. Although strokes affect each person differently, it is great to find a person who knows where I am coming from. :)

I had never heard of NoteCase Pro. Thank you so much for introducing this software to me. I have already installed it and will give it a try. Thanks again!

I have already tried Zotero. Do you use Zotero in combination with NoteCase Pro? How do you use them?
