Thanks for the announcement. Looks like Inspiration has added a mind-mapping view... interesting development, but I find myself uninterested in upgrading. I don't know why.

Data - In & Out
1/31/2007
Jan,
I'd say that Zoot is the best choice for an app that gets info in and out easily, and has time scheduling features -- even though it lacks a genuine calendar function. The only other program tha...
Zoot News
1/31/2007
I'm sure most of you saw this comment posted yesterday by Tom Davis on the Zoot Yahoo Forum, but for those who didn't and those sceptical of progress toward the 32-bit Zoot, here is what he wrote:

Metadata Understanding

Daly,
When I think of meta data, what I think of is information that can be attached to foundational information. In a single-pane outliner, the foundational information would be the node itself. In ...
Random notes on windows outliners

Derek,
I completely agree with you about the awkwardness of Inspirations outlining functions. This is especially accute after having been weaned on GrandView, which is so thoughtfully implemented.

Ideamason 3.0 released
1/19/2007
Jan and Daly,
From what you've said about Eric at ADM (and what Stephen Diamond said a while back), I wouldn't touch ADM with a ten foot pole. What kind of idiot alienates two of his product's staunc...
Outliner to find associations
1/18/2007
Sabastien,
Unfortunately, I am afraid that you are right, that you will not find what you are looking for... though it does sound like it would be a wonderful feature to have.
I wonder if this is a ...
MyInfo 3.59 released
1/18/2007
Daly,
Regarding the lack of hoisting in MI, I agree that that would be a great feature. In some ways, however, MI mitigates that issue with its multiple open databases, and cross-database searches....
MyInfo 3.59 released
1/17/2007
I use MyInfo to complement Zoot. We all know Zoot's limitations, and MyInfo handles those tasks that Zoot can't fairly well. Here are some of the features of MI that I especially appreciate:
1. Drag ...
What publishing software do you use?
1/12/2007
Franz,
I work for a publisher. We do not do our own typesetting, but farm it out to pros. Most of them, it seems, are shifting to InDesign (from Quark), and I know for a fact that it can accept long ...

Kenneth,
I guess my new laptop is half toy -- maybe more than half. Maybe it's just an excuse to do more CRIMPing.
I've been impressed with Evernote, and the additions to version 2 seem interesting....

Hello, everyone.
I just purchased a new laptop computer and see this as an opportunity to free myself from CRIMP clutter. I'm going to try very hard to limit the number of programs I install on my ne...

2007 Predictions

Daly,
I think you covered most of the developments to be looking forward to. The one I do think you missed is the new version of OneNote12 (or whatever it is called). Unlike several folks here, I hav...

Manfred,
You are not alone. I find I do the same thing, and would like to edit my posts at times. That would be a handy feature, though not vital.

Derek,

Derek,
If you're looking for a plain text editor with a hierarchical tree structure, take a look at Treepad Lite, which is free: www.treepad.com

Other Programs Technology Passed By

Daly,
I'm not disputing your statement, but I'm curious as to what criteria you use to make it. Are you refering to generally slow development, or to some key features these programs lack?

Derek,
There are a great many advantages to plain text, many of which you've mentioned in your commentary. Here's another advantage:
