Yes I do; actually, it’s the same way that I work with Brainstorm :-)
Thanks

For me it’s:
Copernic (full indexing of all files)
UR (just starting again) (Managing project & info)
WebResearch (formerly known as ContentSaver) (Web clipping & pages…maybe UR will handle this task???)

OneNote - collecting and organizing research
VisiMap - analysis and conceptualization
BrainStorm - collecting and organizing ideas
An office suite was posited as given. Without this allowance, it would be:
OneNote - research
VisiMap - analysis
MS Word - writing

I’ve been lurking on this forum for quite awhile, and the usefulness of this topic brought me on board.
I was struck by how many members were using both UltraRecall and Whizfolders Pro 6, so I figured WhizFolders had to offer some extra benefits. The WhizFolder site talks about using it for writing, and within a day’s use I realized that it was just what I needed for developing, writing, and revising opera librettos (which is similar to working on a screenplay). I already own and use Final Draft, but I needed a program that made it extremely convenient to work on small scale bits of material. (I tried IdeaMason, but I didn’t need the reference components, and WhizFolders seemed lighter and faster.)
Regarding PIMs I am still on the fence about whether UltraRecall or MyInfo is going to be work out best for me. I have worked with both, and I am waiting until MyInfo 4 arrives to reconsider this choice. So far the clean interface and multi-database search with previews has kept me mostly in MyInfo, but I don’t find either program completely satisfying as far as getting information into them. (I would probably favor UltraRecall if I used either for task management, but I don’t.)
I’m also waiting for the possibility that the long-awaited 32bit version of Zoot will materialize. It’s exciting that there are several strong PIM programs moving into maturity at this time, and it speaks volumes about the usefulness of small companies producing shareware. Like many of you I was stunned when Ecco Pro was dumped by NetManage, and I hope to avoid going through that again.
