Just for the heck of it, and probably to scratch my CRIMP itch, I downloaded InfoSelect 10 beta. It seems to have some nice improvements. I haven't used IS for five or six years, mostly because of the expensive upgrades and the accumulation of unnecessary features. All that still remains part of the new version, so I won't be upgrading. But I am curious about how it works, if anyone on this forum is using IS for serious work.
Thanks.
Steve

I guess the roaring silence about InfoSelect is answer enough to my question! No one must be using this once top shelf program. Interesting.

You're probably right. After having purchased many upgrades since the 90s, I decided last year to leave IS behind me. In fact, I only opened IS 2007 (or 9.x) twice this year to check something in my old databases. I will definitely not make the step to IS 10.
I'd never thought I'd ever move over to Onenote. But meanwhile, Onenote 2007 is to database and web-clipping tool I use for most of my (Windows-based) projects.

I made same step few years ago. From IS 9.x to Essential Pim and later from Essential Pim to Do Organizer.
I still use IS to collect infos from my old database. Which the reason of my switching? I barely remember it. Probably I found IS, same time, confusing, not so handy and absolutely not eye catching. I wonder what's news in this last release

Hi Calep,
do-Organiser has been on my CRIMP list for some time now, but I just realized the last release is dated Nov 2008 which is quite a long time ago. Do you know more?
How satisfied are you with it?
Cheers /jerome

Hi Jerome
Sorry, I forgot what CRIMP means. Anyway the last official release is v3.2 while v4.0 is under development since late 2008. It's not a dead project but it neither looks so much alive too...
I'm still with v3.1. I'm not using every section, just calendar, contacts and the so-called "Scribe" section (a classic outliner). I've heavily costumized the software with some taskbars and macros using Autohotkey (http://www.autohotkey.com/ and Windows PowerPro (http://powerpro.webeddie.com/ to better fit my needings. Beside that I like the possibility to link everything inside and outside Do-Organizer, even Desktop shortcuts with program internal items

CRIMP is just a name we came up with to describe people like us who feel compelled to try out and/or purchase multiple information managers. It stands for Compulsive-Reactive Information Manager Purchasing.
