I would like to start a poll with this question:
You can install *one* software on your new and empty computer.
This is the basic system you find on the computer:
- Operating system
- Browser
- Internet connection
- E-Mail program
So, what software/tool/pim/etc. do you choose?
Or, in other words: If you had to decide to use just one software in the future which tool would you choose?
Think of a greatest common divisor.
My vote:
Ultra Recall Professional v3
This poll can perhaps help me to cure myself from CRIMP.
Dominik
PS:
I will start a second poll later. There I will ask for the *additional* tools. Stay tuned!

My first comment would be that it depends upon the Operating System, Browser, Internet Connection and E-mail program. :)
But I’ll bite anyway. I’m going to go with Microsoft Access (or your database of choice). Chances are that, while it would be a great deal of trouble, designing and keeping my own database would be the only way I’d get the kind of flexibility that I like while working with virtually any kind of the above four things that you could throw at me. Its the one program type that I know I could use and adapt to any situation. Well, most situations.

I can’t work without Visual Foxpro, so it would have to be that, but in the Pim stakes: Whizfolders.

do-Organizer
the outliner/notetaking part module is only basic, but it’s all-in-one and it has a spreadsheet module that I use. (Moreover I just don’t like keeping todo’s, appointments and contacts in outliners like UR.)

Interesting question. I’d have to select OneNote. It can capture information from almost anywhere, has a relatively decent set of word processing functions, including spell check, provides task management features.
The other possibility—assuming you really can only have one piece of software—would be InfoSelect. Not because I think it is a great program, but because it does provide great versatility. You can build rudimentary, but effective, database management and spread sheets within it, as well as all the other PIM features.
