For those who are new here or missed it the first time or didn’t give a fig back then, I posted an appreciation of GrandView on my blog several years ago (in fact, I think it was my first software-related post). You can find it here if you’d like to learn more about GV:

It is a truly elegiac piece, which very nearly made me feel nostalgic myself when I read it… despite the fact I’ve never actually used GrandView!
As for tea - you’re right, Ken! My mounting sense of guilt is inexpressible!

Thanks for reposting the link, Stephen. It was a well written post, and gave ma an idea of what GV was capable of offering.
Now that I have had my morning fill of chocolate, Bill, all is forgiven. ;)
Be well,

Ok, now that I have introduced myself and shown myself a total noob, I have to ask.
What is CRIMPing? :) I see many comments mentioning it, and I am getting a general feel for what it is about from the context, but I need to know the secret club jargon!

Compulsive-Reactive Information Management Purchasing (I think!)
As manifested by trying out and purchasing many different information management programs, in a never-ending quest for the perfect outliner / notetaking program.
