I am a MyInfo user also, primarily in a work environment. I am a travel agent, and have been since 1984 (me and George Orwell, we’re buds
).
I use info programs to capture the data I need while planning vacations (a project), so each vacation or group (projects) go into their own Section - using MyInfo’s terms.
There have been many similar information managers I have tried over the years; AskSam, Ultra Recall, Right Note, and even text only programs like Brainstorm and Notetab (those were in the pre-web days when websites were basically text displays).
As we all know, the programs that work best for each of use are very personal in nature, so ones that I do not use anymore is not due to their not being good, just not for me. Right Note is very good. I still miss AskSam, its demise not withstanding, I might still be using it today; assuming the web capture would have been fixed.
With MyInfo, I can import, capture, type, copy and paste, just about anything into it and have it become searchable AND the imported files are part of the database. I like importing those pdf’s and not have them floating about on the hard drive. Oh, and the web capture has truly improved. Being able to capture just a snippet of a page is very helpful.
When I complete a project, I move it to a “completed project” notebook. Quite nice to have a large database of searchable history. And again, it sure is helpful to have those pdf’s go along with the projects.

Windows 11 24H2 update also broke ConnectedText on two of my computers. It was working fine before the update, so the error is not hardware-related. I couldn’t find any compatibility workarounds that removed the error.
If you have ConnectedText running on Windows 11 pre-24H2 I suggest that you make a backup now before the update is pushed to you.
24H2 is full of bugs so it might be fixed in the future. Something similar happened with Q10. There was a time when it wouldn’t run on Windows, but now it does again.

Yes, good advice. I tried to install CT on a new PC and that gave the same error.

So interesting to see that there are still active users of ConnectedText!. I loved that program, but gave up years ago because of lack of development/support
