de-CRIMPing

I reach this stage periodically -- a machine reaches end of life or dies, I've known that's coming so I've been migrating my work to a new machine but only bringing along the software that was needed ...
Hello, also
11/7/2015
Sidekick 1.0 for DOS loaded from a 5 1/4" floppy disk, running on the same machine as VisiCalc and WordStar. I think I got more work done on that IBM machine with the green on black monitor than jus...

Alfons Schmidt's Notebooks (OS X and iOS versions) have been discussed here frequently:

I recall that CPN often had difficult times with the iOS app. It's seems to be a major challenge to pair an iOS app with a successful desktop app -- many devs have not succeeded. Got to be a very ex...

Wasn't there a Mac App Store update in April 2015?

"Automatic indexing of all sites you visit" -- interesting, but I didn't see a way to turn this off other than turning on privacy mode. Most sites I visit are not interesting enough to save, so I wo...
Notebooks on IOS gets side-by-side documents

Bill, I'm shocked. I was hoping you'd be the early adopter who would tell the rest of us the good and the bad?
I notice that the iPad Pro in it's most tricked-out configuration is about 10-15% hig...

SmartDown for Mac
10/22/2015
In my opinion SmartDown is worth $9.99 but not $19.99. It has folding and does tables but does not have an iOS app. IAWriter does not do folding or tables but has a companion iOS app. The iOS bit i...
I work in big corporate (transportation industry and regulators -- not dot.com) and government environments and use a MacBook -- but would find it impossible to work with clients without also having W...
Folding Text always seemed like a one-man skunk works effort. I was shocked to see that there was an update in the App Store today -- I had given up FT for dead years ago.
The blurb in the App Sto...
Office 2016
10/13/2015
@Bill -- your advice about ripping out Office and starting over seems to have worked. The slow responsiveness of Office 2016 on OS X is not happening. (Yet. There's always a "yet" with Microsoft.)

Office 2016
10/12/2015
Thanks Bill.
I'm hoping this will fix the problem I've encounted in Office 2016 -- especially Word and Excel -- of the response to keyboard input becoming excruciatingly slow.
LOL -- kind of a "save-the-topic" approach to forums, similar to those odd "save-the-date" announcements for weddings

Searching attachments in TheBrain

I was curious about this, because I recall such searches worked in olden days.
So -- according to the "Knowledge Base" for "TheBrain 8 Pro" (In reality, there is no product anymore called TheBrain P...

Evernote reinvents itself again

Aaargh -- Steve suggested $10, not "10%". (Would be great if we could edit posts here.)
Evernote reinvents itself again

Very interesting article.
Up above in this thread Steve Z. suggested charging everyone 10%. Even it they lost 90% of their users with a move like that (unlikely) their revenue would increase several...
The Brain version 8 versus version 6

Sorry for the rant. At tax time one often wonders "why did I buy that" ;-)
The Brain version 8 versus version 6
10/3/2015
If would wait before buying v8 unless you really need it today. Their website explains the differences in versions -- I found v7 more of an upgrade from v6 than v8 was from v7. The basic features al...

Either losing money or their next VC round wants better margins or both.
Maybe no more selling backpacks and socks.
