First, thank you all for the welcome, and thanks, Cassius, for the tip about Notemap info. I’ll check it out.
About ZOOT… I’m still keeping the door open. ZOOT users rave about the program so enthusiastically I keep thinking, “Maybe if I try harder to absorb the concepts, I’ll find it works for me.” (Hey… who am I to argue with James Fallows? He writes ten times better than I ever will.)
On the other hand, I have found by long experience that the “structured outline with strong cross-referencing” model exemplified by ECCO, and developing nicely in MyInfo, fits my style of working very well…. so why change?
In any event, at this point I am definitely going to wait and see if “The Admiral” ever comes out with a 32-bit version, or whether development just finally fizzles out. Having kissed goodbye to some beloved programs from CP/M and DOS days, and after enduring the long, sad ECCO saga, I do not want to enter into another software relationship that may end up in heartbreak. ;)
All of which underscores exactly what Stephen wrote: some of us develop intensely personal relationships with the programs we use to manage our lives, store the information we need, and organize it all in _just_ the way we want it. Guess that’s why so many of us keep looking for the perfect PIM partner.
