This does look interesting, and I've added it to my list to try out. Thanks everyone for being so helpful. With this array of software recommendations there should be something to please anyo...

Thanks for reminding me that a decent text-editor kept open all the time will also do a good job of storing random notes, ideas, etc.
One added thought: it's useful in that case if they c...

I'll look out for the 60-day trial version of OneNote over here, too. Thanks for the other suggestions.

Thanks for explaining the outlining feature in OneNote. It's a pity I missed the beta, and good to know it's there. From the on-line demo I was beginning to wonder...

the memoboards do look as though they solve one of the problems of post-it notes programs (Wes mentioned Stickies Store as another solution).
When I looked at post-it notes programs, the one I...

Thanks for the information about Slickrun. It looks as though it might be very useful as part of my desktop-clearing exercise. I'm about to try out PowerPro for the same purpose - reducing ico...

Thanks for the Stickies Store tip. I'll take a look.
On the OneNote beta: it looks as though they have taken it off now. Only the on-line test drive is available, so I'll wait until they iss...

I used to use another free stickies program, which I rather liked. But I always ended up with a mass of notes on my display. The "advantage" of HandyNotes is that you can only open one "window"...

Thanks for reminding me of Notebox Disorganizer. I hadn't thought of using it for random notes. I'll take another look at it.

Yes, Zoot's Quick Note is an excellent feature, but I like to reserve Zoot for more permanent storage. It's also a lot quicker to use HandyNotes from the system tray. But it is very much a ma...

GyroQ looks like a nifty piece of software, but at $29.95 it looks rather overpriced ($14.95 might have been more reasonable).
I've tried a number of system tray note-takers as a way of temporarily s...

Your choice of mind mapping software

Like you I mostly do text outlining so mind mapping hasn't in the past grabbed my attention. I use Inspiration as a text outliner fairly often and it does grow on one, although the child-friend...

I'll certainly bear Axon in mind for the future. I'm under some time constraints for the current project, though, so given the program's complexity I'd better go with something simpler. I've tri...

After I wrote my message I thought about digging out my old WIN3.1 copy of RFFlow. I had no idea that it was still being developed. I'll certainly take a look. I might even be able to get an...
After grappling with Visio (which I have never liked using) and rejecting SmartDraw as too expensive, I've recently been looking at mind mapping tools as another way of drawing process maps (essential...

Some IdeaMason questions

Dominik,
I'm just about to take a longer look at IdeaMason. As you say, the feature list for v3 looks very interesting.
Incidentally, software users are a contrary bunch, aren't they. For example, ...
