Easy enough to miss - it was buried in a recent thread about MindManager 8.

Nothing very exciting, I’m afraid:
Zoot32 - couldn’t imagine working without it
Outlook 2003 - but looking for something less resource-intensive (maybe Zoot v6 will provide this)
Word 2003 - inevitable for collaborations
Notetab Pro - for general drafting (but experimenting with ConnectedText; see also Zoot v6))
Grandview (DOS) - still the best (but must give Maxthink (WIN) a proper workout)
dtSearch - expensive, but excellent
Biblioscape - for references (but really unsure about its value - probably moving to Zoot or ConnectedText for handling references and doing formatting by hand)
Firefox v3 - so agile, so many useful add-ons

Hello Everyone!
Assuming this message gets by the moderator (this is my first post), I’d like to throw in a couple thoughts:
1. Thanks to all for creating such a great resource! To be honest, I’m quite overwhelmed by it all, but wouldn’t have it any other way. There are so many options here that I’ve forced myself to return to paper to ensure that I first know the concepts and contexts that are most important to my PIM style. Then (at least in theory) I’ll be a better consumer…
2. Is anyone following/interested in MIT’s Jourknow project? Forgive me if this has already been discussed somewhere else. (I’ve skimmed a couple bits about Haystack, which is somehow related to it, but nothing on Journknow…) Anyway, I mention it because their design philosophy of “information scraps” very much resonates with what I feel an effective and efficient PIM should be. I’d state it here, but I’m running a little short on time with holiday preparation to give it justice. (Basically, ubiquitous capture and effective recall, but in a much more flexible way than what I’ve seen so far in programs like Ultra Recall.)

Happy outlining!
