Task managers
4/19/2007
While the idea of a task manager is very appealing to me, I have never been very good at maintaining the discipline to use them effectively. I say this to put the following recommendation in context (...

Brainstreamer
4/6/2007
I checked out Brainstreamer too. I like the concept very much: That is, having different information "types" and keeping them all strung together in a large mindmap that can also be viewed as an outli...

Yes, the Compaq was very similar to the Kaypro, but it used the DOS system.

Wikis to HTML

Alexander,
Notebook Wiki (http://notebook.wjduquette.com) does a nice job with exactly this. I just exported my information as a set of HTML files and it did it beautifully, maintaining all the links...
Writing tools
4/4/2007
In one of the recent previous topics, someone mentioned writing tools... as opposed to information/note management. Whizfolders seems to be gaining in popularity. No one has mentioned SuperNoteCard or...
Thinking Tools on a USB key?
3/31/2007
A few other PIM/outliner related programs that run from a USB drive, though I don't think any of them has the functionality you're looking for:

Ideas for a Competitive Knowledgebase
3/29/2007
JJ,
You should definitely look at OneNote 2007... It is supposed to work great with shared documents. It indexes, and you can store most anything within it. You can't imbed an OLE spreadsheet, but th...
Question for OneNote users
3/28/2007
Mark and Jack,
Thank you for the responses. I am using OneNote 2007, and I did try the various options in the paste options menu. However, my version of Excel is Office 97... perhaps that is the prob...
Question for OneNote users
3/28/2007
Hello,
I'm hoping to get a little help from one of the other OneNote fans on this site. I recall seeing something, perhaps on the Microsoft web site, about pasting a spreadsheet into ON and having it...
Apology for Going Over the Top
3/28/2007
Daly,
Only speaking for myself, of course, I don't think you need to apologize. I am sure all of us have experienced the frustration of software malfunctioning for whatever reason. I know there have ...
OneNote 207
Zoot
The Journal
Interesting question. I'd have to select OneNote. It can capture information from almost anywhere, has a relatively decent set of word processing functions, including spell check, provides task manage...

One navigational approach has been overlooked in this discussion: Wikis. And, in particular, Connected Text, which may be unique in the number of navigational schemes it uses. First, of course, is the...

Overly "fussy"/complex interfaces?
3/14/2007
I would tend to agree with that in general. The reason I don't use UltraRecall is that I find the interface too complicated and unintuitive. Idea Mason seems to me to be a bit more reasonable, but I h...
UltraRecal vs. MyInfo
3/14/2007
Stephen,
I don't use UltraRecall, though I did purchase a license (CRIMP at work). I do use MyInfo regularly and like it a lot. Here are the features of MI that appeal to me:
1. You can keep multipl...
