Ultra Recall - by far the most complete and versatile PIM there is, IMHO :) , used 24/7 at work/home to store every important information I come across so that I can concentrate on thinking and undert...
What to do? Simple. Stick with one PIM and system, and be happy what you have.
You mention Win 8, who apart from M$ cares about it? XP does all you need, no need for Vista, 7, ... whatever ...

Sightly OT: e-readers

one thing I forgot to mention, viliv s5 (and probably most of the tablets/ipad/...) is very hard to read on sunny day, that means I have to go for a seat that's in shade in tube/train ;-)

For what it's worth, I'm using viliv s5 at the moment (last half a year), it's a PC in the pocket (new 340 pounds off ebay).
It doesn't have multitouch bla bla bla, ... but I can have all the same so...

x70 starts at ?430, so reasonable price and can offer much more than ipad can. The only problem might be that you won't be "in" :)
I don't know much about this one, might be worth checking, offers du...

why would you try to turn an ipad into "productivity tool" when there are dozens of tablets with full operating system?

CommentCollector: my new "PDF notes tool"

Most of the information I work with is not on the internet in html or some other web format, but in pdf files (journals, articles, presentations, ebooks, ...). Even the files that are not in pdf and I...

vue seems interesting, but it doesn't support one/two features that I consider crucial.
1. It offers many ways to reorganize map, but none of them reorganize data so that items connected to the select...
Visual representation of data

you're probably right, and I'm too optimistic about this 3d. we can only speculate now.
The small difference from your situation is that you had static 3d map showing it only from single view. Say if...
Visual representation of data

Agree, one can do a lot on plane, problem is there aren't many tools that show more than a tree. This "visualization tool" would take it completely to another level.
In the video they show that one c...

yeah, I know. I tested it few years ago and again about two weeks ago when I was checking whether it can handle something with link descriptions in navigator.

I think it's not just the amount of data, it's the "data with relationships" that it could display efficiently.
Once you start to have multiple parents and links between "far" items, it's impossible t...

I can't wait when some PIM will incorporate it and I will be able to navigate "universe of my knowledge" :)
Large databases in UltraRecall?
8/29/2010
yes, there is a reason, to have the files with you in your database, so that when you move it say to your usb key, you know you're going to have access to all the files that you imported to it.
Also,...
Large databases in UltraRecall?
8/28/2010
Don't know the answer to your question as I try to minimize the amount of "not important" info in my UR databases. The reason is, that UR won't be able to come even close to what dedicated search/ind...
I really can't see any purpose in the link going all around the empty space, ... might be just me ... in any case thanks for suggestion.
