The Yahoo group backup site and GrandView
12/14/2007
Derek and Cassius,
Thank you for the suggestions about how to get GV to run in a window on my computer. It's installed on my home computer, so I'll give it a try this evening. Thanks, again.
There's...
The Yahoo group backup site and GrandView

Actually, I don't believe you need to have moderator approval to join the Yahoo group. As one of the co-moderators, I've been deleting the occassional spam message that works its way onto the site and...

Here is where I disagree with you. Ecco was a great application, but it was only a servicable outliner. Its power came from its use o...

12/12/2007
So, I just paid my $29 for a MaxThink license. I got an e-mail from Neil (probably automated) telling me how to get unlock codes for any computer I want to use it on. This was refreshing -- a develope...
Remote notes into your PIM?
12/5/2007
Has anyone any experience using CyberPad or a similar product?

Looks like a viable alternative to the digital pens.

Bob,
The only option I can think of is InfoSelect. It has all the components you are looking for, but I am not recommending it, as I found it kind of a mess... some of the features are well implement...

Further thoughts on MaxThink:
This is really a very focussed product. It is for collecting and sorting thoughts, then expanding upon them. In this regard, it tries very hard to live up to its name. I...

First of all, I would call MaxThink a two-pane outliner, at least not in the same category as, say, Treepad or Jot. In those programs, you create your outline headers within the tree itself... the edi...

Wow. I haven't checked out MaxThink in ages. I just noticed that it now costs just 29 dollars... that makes it CRIMPfordable. Didn't it cost 200 dollars before? So, of course I've once again downloade...
XMIND 2008 At Bits du Jour Today
11/15/2007
I've downloaded and trialed XMIND, but I should state up front that I've never been much of a mind-mapper. I think I keep looking for a reason to buy one of these programs and I thought that with its ...
Software for organizing photos

Randall,
I have a similar project in mind, though the number of slides is in the hundreds, not thousands. I have been looking for a low-cost slide scanning solution, but have not found one. I would b...

I think I am being dense here, but can you define smart pasting and smart dragging? Thanks.

Corel Wordperfect Lightning

There was a discussion of this a few months back, I believe. I installed it on my computer at the office and ran it a few times. Its strong point, if I recall, is its editor, which is to be expected, ...

I greatly enjoy our discussions of the fine points of outliners/PIMs/wikis, but sometimes I ask myself if I'm overthinking the whole subject.
