Stephen,
Thank you for your reply.
It would appear that my pilgrimage in pursuit of the perfect info-manager is quite similar to yours.
As with you (if I recall correctly), my search for the holy grail seems to have come to its conclusion when I pitted David (MyInfo) against the lumbering behemoth, OneNote. But unlike the Biblical narrative, in this case, David’s 5 stones did not fell the monster.
The difference, however, in your path in this conquest and my own was that I took a far simpler view than you seem to have. For example ...

> And finally, hyperlinking in both of these august products now resolve to paragraph.
And so (hope, hope), it appears that, at least for now, I have reached trails end. I walk in peace with behemoth.
