Interesting that David Hewson has switched back to a PC. It's something I'm considering, since I too find Apple far too repressive in its policies. Still... I've invested in a lot of Mac software, and...

Thank you for the responses. I am leaning toward one of the Lenovos because of the keyboard. The Samsung that people raved about seems to have been discontinued. But I'm going to keep researching and ...

Hi, all,
I hope no one will mind too much if I pose this question. I want to get my wife a new computer for Christmas and I'm thinking a netbook will suit her well. She mostly used her current laptop...
OmniOutliner Review

Thanks for the plug, Hugh. That was a fun article to write. I just submitted another review -- this one for Curio. I'm not sure when it will be posted, but probably within the week.

Jim,
This sounds likes something you could do very easily with Zoot (easily, that is, once you become familiar with how Zoot works). The new version is getting close to being released, I think. Truth...
Have you looked at EccoPro? Development stopped many years ago, but there is a large, dedicated group of users who keep adding improvements. Anyway, I think it does everything you're looking for and i...
Anyone else enjoying Freeplane?

Alexander and Jerome,
Thank you for your heroic efforts to help me get Freeplane running. Alexander, I just tried uninstalling and re-installing Java, and I tried changing the .bat file to include th...

Alexander,
Thanks for the tip. It looks like the problem is it is not recognizing java as a command. Here is what it says:
'java? is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable progr...

I did try the portable version and had the same result. Perhaps th...

Even just clicking on the batch file doesn't work. I think I'll have to resign myself to being unable to use Freeplane. (Cue violins!)

Jerome,
Actually, my windows firewall was turned off, so that couldn't be an issue. I just turned it on, but didn't find the exceptions for Java you mentioned.
I've been trying to find some sort of ...

I have Freeplane loaded on my Mac, but when I've tried to install and run it on my PC at work, nothing happens. That is, it seems to install okay. There is an icon on the desktop, but when I double cl...
We all know there is no perfect application -- that holy grail of PIMs we are all searching for. There are certainly valid criticisms that can be made of DevonThink. But if I could have an exact versi...

You might check out GS-Base. It's not free, but it is only $20. It's a database that uses a tabular view:

Goodbye Evernote 2.2
8/26/2010
I wonder if Evernote made the right decision focussing simply on being a "cloud" application. At first, this seemed smart. But now there are so many ways to float your data back and forth across the d...

Mac Saga Ending

Thanks for the update, Daly. I'm glad you were able to come to satisfying conclusion that works for you.
I agree that MyInfo is underrated. My only real quibble with it -- and a main reason I do not ...
Twig, a couple months later
8/12/2010
Sorry, Wes, I uninstalled Twig -- not because there was anything wrong with it, but because I was afraid I was going to buy it. But I am eager to learn of your experiences with it.

Good topic, Wes!

- Tinderbox, analysis and thought tin...
