Okay. Sounds great. Does such an application exist? Does it exist in the PC world? If not, what application comes closest?

Thank you, Francis!

I hate to be the one to tell you this, Alexander, but I suspect you may be the only one seeing that ad. At least, I don't recall ever seeing it when I've been logged in. Right now the referral ad I'm ...

Clipmate on sale today on Bits du Jour

I just thought I'd throw out this reminder to the group. I've never tried it, but I remember Clipmate coming up for discussion a while back.

Alexander's comment reminded me of a nifty, free editor called Rough Draft. You can open and create both RTF and plain text documents. It has a files panel, from which you can view folders and files -...

I second the suggestion of checking out Treepad Lite.
Also, take a look at PowerOutlines: http://www.dataomega.com/PowerOutlines/index.htm
I think it matches most of your criteria, although I'm not ...
I use OneNote to archive my PDFs. This is doable for me for two reasons: I don't have hundreds of PDF files to worry about, and most of the ones I do want to store are single pages (price quotes from ...

Infohesive

I already suggested a couple of names: "Grand Vista" and "EchoNotes"
Here are a couple of additional ideas:
"Freedom Notes" because you are not limited in the ways you can view your notes.

So I took the plunge and bought XMind. It is on sale at Bits for $99 -- a savings of $50. This is the first mind mapping/charting program I've bought since Inspiration, which I don't use anymore. Xmin...
