However, regarding the ability to capture data, the program has a feature that (I think) is fairly unique. It actually indexes the URLs. So, for instance, if you capture a web page by creating a URL attachment, it actually goes out and indexes the page for search.
I agree that this is, indeed, off putting because you have to actually click on the node to see the contents of the page in a web browser. However, this is only a minor inconvenience as long as the data is available and searchable.
An interesting twist, I thought.
The bad news is that it doesn't appear to index my gmail URLs. :(
Have fun. :)

While Personal Brain is kind of neat for getting in
lots of stuff, the lack of metadata, and the limited ability of its own notes to capture
data, are off-putting.

I may be headed over to the Mac world in any event, in which case
this madness begins all over again.
Any thoughts?
Have fun. :)
