On the contrary, Dr Andus, very much on-topic; we are, after all, discussing information management, and meta/reflexive processes could be described as outlining in its purest form ;-)
For Mac users, I recommend Curiota (the new mini-app from the brilliant developer of Curio) for storing such notes about your ongoing processes. It’s now replaced almost all my other information management apps (EagleFiler, Together, Yojimbo et al., although not DEVONthink or Outliner) because it is so convenient. You can print, paste or pass anything (in)to Curiota, you can create categories and shunt entries between them, it has a powerful search function, and it sits in your menu bar taking up minimal resources! It’s just darn convenient!
Cheers,
Bill

Apple, Inc., an entity which has made keeping “fish” well inside its deceptively seductive software aquarium has entire Teams dedicated to frustrating all attempts to run its OS outside the confines of its block aluminum penitentiaries.
And the Linux world is dishearteningly fragmented.
There’s an opportunity here for a risk-taking entity.

Maybe—but practically speaking, is one’s life less complete because we cannot order up a brick from NewEgg and install El Capitan on it? (Well, wait, we can. But why?)

I’m using a new imac 5k and am finding it quite frustrating with VM. The retina display makes windows apps difficult to run. Even with Fusions special retina setting, some apps simply aren’t configured for high DPI screens (http://www.infoworld.com/article/2952506/microsoft-windows/high-resolution-displays-reveal-windows-10-blind-spot.html) and Connect Text is one of them. The only way I can get CT in some semblance of usage is by moving the VM on my old 23 inch DP screen through the thunderbolt connection. Then turn of the retina setting and it displays fine. Far form ideal though.
Is anyone else finding this problem with retina screens and Windows apps?
