You need a copy of Windows as neither Parallels nor VMware include a licence. But you may install the Windows XP or Vista from your existing system on the Mac and register it with Microsoft - you will probably have to call Microsoft registration agent (or whatever it is called in the USA) and give them your Windows serial number. At least, over here in Germany you are allowed to install Windows XP (don’t know about Vista) on a desktop and a mobile computer.

BTW. If you think about using Tinderbox, check out the screencast on http://www.eastgate.com/download/TinderboxNovel.mov. It shows how TB may be used for planning a novel - the procedures described, however, can be adapted to non-fiction works, too.

Thanks for that video… very interesting. I should give Tinderbox another look when I have time. I’ve always found its interface a little archaic, but it is definitely powerful. There’s room for an enterprising programmer to come along and develop a competitor with a rethought UI.

Two additional Mac PIM-like apps cropped up from the references you all supplied me:
1. Curio (http://www.zengobi.com/products/curio/)
2. SOHO Notes (http://www.chronosnet.com/Products/sohonotes.html)
Anyone have any experience with these? If so, what do you think? (Should I infer from the fact that no one mentioned them yet that they fail to make the grade?)
Thanks!
