If you’re interested in learning more about Tinderbox, I’ve written a fairly long review that is now posted at Mac Appstorm. See here:

http://mac.appstorm.net/reviews/productivity-review/taking-the-information-plunge-with-tinderbox/

It was interesting writing about Tinderbox for that forum, because I couldn’t hide from some of Tinderbox’s quirks and issues. About half way through the process I’d actually convinced myself that Tinderbox was too challenging to be useful for most people, but by the end of the process I’d regained and strengthed my affection for the program. It isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, for sure, but I am really attached to it.

I’ve been looking forward to this review. The anticipation was justified. Thanks Steve! (And I note I should go and see “Monsters”!)

Brilliant Steve!

I’m already CRIMPing in anticipation of the Windows version of Tinderbox. I see that it is in RC stage.

Thanks, Hugh and Alex, I appreciate the kind comments.

Alex, I actually didn’t know that the Windows version has a release candidate. That’s exciting news!

Hugh, yes, “Monsters” is a nice surprise. A low-budget, science fiction thriller that’s also a great allegory. Of course, “Monsters” could be the subtitle for the documentary “Inside Job.”

Steve.

Thanks for the detailed review. Made me grip my teeth because I more or less (in fact “more”) decided to quit the Mac platform only keeping my beloved Powerbook for novel writing (for which I do not need TB).

@Alex: Where did you see a Release Candidate mentioned? That would be great news.
