I have a license for UltraRecall Pro, but I think it has got snared in too many bugs and performance issues, so I have only rarely used it in recent months… Perhaps the code is now overly complex, and the development team too small to keep up in a timely manner… something like that….
I am keen to see Myinfo V4, and especially the new Zoot 5 beta….
In the meantime, I have become totally hooked on PB 4, mainly for file and web site navigation, with some use of OneNote 2007 for saving web pages, Outlook items, and some notes, but I really can’t get comfortable with what is for me a too simplistic Book/Section/Notes paradigm.
I like that Myinfo 4 will have external links (uri’s) to its Topics, meaning that if I do decide to use it, I can paste and use those links in Personal Brain. I don’t believe Zoot 5 will provide uri’s - at least not initially - which would be a significant limitation, and I also found that in Zoot 4 you could easily break the links to Outlook linked items, merely by moving the Outlook items into different folders - so I hope that Zoot 5’s Outlook integration is more robust…

sure you can do this, but what’s the search performance, user friendliness ... ?
I worked 3 years in a company that used text files databases (similar to what you presented)!!! The speed of adding to db was perfect, but that’s about it ...

any alternative to UR with the similar set of features?

Ouch. Last time I looked at PersonalBrain 4 beta, it just didn’t do what it was supposed to. After your post, I downloaded the newest version, and it really has improved markedly!
And that after I’d just shifted everything to OneNote :-(
It’s a bit pricey, though - USD 250 for the pro version.

It’s worth noting here that Zoot allows a combined approach - you can arbitrarily enter fields in the body of the item and still work with them as if they are database fields (“delimited fields” in Zoot parlance).
