SQL Notes / IQ - where to begin? 11/20/2008

Pierre, BTW, what will happen to the old web sites, like the wiki and the one at Google? Should we completely ignore them? --Ken

SQL Notes / IQ - where to begin? 11/20/2008

Thanks for the reply, Pierre. I looked at the sites earlier today, and I guess that I saw both old and new at the same time. I will try a fresh approach at the linkthat you provided. I have to admi...

SQL Notes / IQ - where to begin? 11/19/2008

I have downloaded the current beta version of IQ (portable) and have played around with it briefly. PPL has a lot of information packed in the program, and even more so on the numerous web sites rela...

Thaks for the additional information everybody. I believe that I still have every version of Ecco at home, as I was one of the early users in 1993. As a matter of fact, one of their slaes associates...

Another Portable Application Question 11/14/2008

Both suggestions were very helpful, Stephen. As a side note, the Simbust calendar software was interesting, but had a few too many bugs for my taste. Simple, yes, but robust, I think not! --Ken

Another Portable Application Question 11/14/2008

I am trying to determine which portable applications allow for tagging or multiple categories for items. I know that MyInfo has tags. I am looking at DebriefNotes, but cannot seem to find any taggin...

Stephen, In a previous post, you mentioned programs from Simbust ( http://www.simbust.com/default.php ). Do you know anything about them? --Ken

Poretable Application Combinations 11/12/2008

As I have been CRIMPing this last week or two (Surfulator, LWA and AM-Notebook), it dawned on me that my friend who was our network administrator at work left for a new job on Friday. While my copy o...

Thoughts on Ecco in light of recent events 11/6/2008

It may just be another case of CRIMP, but I have been thinking about my tried and true Ecco in light of recent events (suspension of UR; potential launch of IQ; new version of Surfulator). I am still...

Looks like a new version of Surfulater is about to be released. 11/4/2008

Thanks for the information (on both of the above posts), Graham. Before I embark on trying time-limited software, are there any shareware programs that are useful for web clipping and organizing that...

Looks like a new version of Surfulater is about to be released. 11/4/2008

For give my ignorance with this program, but does anybody know the terms of their trial software? I looked at their web site, but could not find any information. Also, I am assuming that this is not...

Hi Alexander, Thank you for the reply, but unfortunately, it was not Listas. when time permits, I will try to review more past posts to see if I can find the links that I was trying to recollect. -...

Looking for past post 10/9/2008

I feel like I am losing my mind. I thought there was a post in the last month or so that recommended, and linked to, two (new?) programs. One of the programs was primarily an on-line task manager th...

Ecco on a EEE PC 3/17/2008

It is a great idea, but our IT staff were able to get Ecco running on my machine. I will probably consider this idea again when Asus launches its EEE PC w/XP already installed.

After using Ecco at work for 15 years, I may be forced to look at alternative options since I received a new machine and no longer have administrative rights. While my IT folks are looking into the r...

PIMs, Writing Software, and Windows XP, Vista, and OS X 11/27/2007
