It is fun, isn’t it? :)
I’ve always wondered how big the PIM/Outliner type of market is…
Must not be big enough, since apps keep dying and going away.

There’s a lot of truth in this. Aren’t we all trying to use these programs to retain, organize, and recall and as much of the information in our lives as we can?
