I've been taking another look at NOOKstudy, a rather good-looking app you can download for free from the Barnes & Noble website (more here: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/nookstudy/features/index.asp)....
Multiple Monitors
1/15/2013
Wow, interesting to hear from Mac users on the issues involved - I did wonder how well the latest versions of OS X handled multiple monitors. That's deffo a bit of a turn-off.
What about Linux? I've ...

What an interesting range of hardware - some big brutes on the monitor side, too!
What fascinates me, however, is that no Mac users have responded. And yet the iMac is one of the few desktops (apart ...

Aha! That suggests you have a twin-head graphics card? I wonder how many people get round to installing those. I always find it amusing that laptops/notebooks have them as a matter of course, but desk...
Thanks for your useful blog post on Outline 4D - very interesting. A shame development appears to have stalled. But perhaps we can exert some joint pressure!
Meanwhile I am going to sit down and with...
Amazing Resource
1/14/2013
Another welcome from me.
But also an admission. I've read many contributions to this forum that suggest the good ole' days of DOS outliners were some kind of Golden Age.
I'm sorry - this may sound ...
I must say I like the streamlined look of the Outline 4D screen - not a lot of furniture getting in the way, there, the buttons all look very functional. I've downloaded the 5-day trial (bit stingy, w...
Dang! I'm jealous... of the two enormous monitors, mainly! I use a notebook + 18" monitor, but that pales into insignificance next to a 22" and a 19" combo.
It would be interesting to hear - purely f...
Steve, I'm frightfully excited by ProjectBook, especially once it starts to invade the desktop. It's much the most imaginative bit of software I've seen for a while, and may (once desktop versions are...
Oh wow, dude, that's actually really cool! Blimey, I hadn't realised it could do that. It's a lot more expensive than InfoRecall, mind... (sorry, that's just the whining of an inveterate CRIMPer who's...
Hewson on MS Word revision
1/11/2013
I do remember those (sadly). I have, lurking in a drawer, no less than TWO Psion 5mx's - which are amazing machines. And my favourite of all, which I also lived on, much like your Amstrad: an AlphaSma...
Hewson on MS Word revision
1/11/2013
Yup, mine's an NEC MobilePro, too - my HP and my LG machines both died off (see? I'm not just a CRIMPer, I'm a gadget freak!), but the NEC is still going strong. I like to joke it has the same benefit...
I was recently reminded - quite unexpectedly - of the advantages of a prog that has largely fallen from favour: Phantech's InfoRecall.
Most people regard UltraRecall as the natural successor to InfoR...

More damaging (to Microsoft) is their apparent intention to continue with per-device (as opposed to per-user) licensing. So you'll need multiple licences for e.g. MS Word to run it on multiple devices...
Has anyone gotten into the new Wunderlist?
12/21/2012
Yup, finally got on yesterday afternoon. It's nice. Not as nice as Todoist, but more cross-platform. Just. And more collaboration-focused. They've obviously taken a lot of time and trouble on the new ...
Search and 'hoist' text
12/21/2012
What you're describing sounds like a concordance function; there are a few specialised concordance editors out there. I can't remember what they're called offhand, but I'll see if I can dig up some re...
Single-pane outliners
12/21/2012
Interesting - I didn't realise Sense supported OPML (through a plugin). Closer look required... no! no!...
C-C-C-RRRRRRIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPPPPing!
Speaking of CintaNotes...
12/21/2012
Mind you, if it's two laptops you've got (presumably running Windows) you could also simply use Dropbox (which is what I was doing before the Simplenote compatibility came up). You have to be a bit ca...

Hi Gary - yes, absolutely, that's why I'm so pleased with this latest version of CintaNotes. Simplenote (sorry, misspelled it before) is a popular text-synchronisation service based on tagged notes. L...
Speaking of CintaNotes...
12/21/2012
Gary sums it up perfectly. But I found I wasn't using it a huge amount until the latest version came out. The support for tabs (of which you can select one to be the default 'clippings' tab) is brilli...
Re-emergence of Cotton Notes
12/21/2012
I know many of you are enthusiastic outliner users on the iOS platform, devoted to such stalwarts as Carbonfin Outliner or OmniOutliner. But do cast another eye (if you haven't looked at it for a whil...
Todoist releases native Android app
12/18/2012
Yes, you're right, it's a temporary reversion.
And I know just what you mean. While most of my tasks are managed in Todoist, I find myself slapping all the small, urgent stuff into a clever little i...
Todoist releases native Android app
12/17/2012
ToodleDo does if you upgrade to a Pro subscription - full subtasking etc. is indeed supported (you may be interested in 2Do, available across multiple platforms, which uses ToodleDo as a "back end"). ...
Todoist releases native Android app
12/17/2012
Yes, I've recently started to use Todoist, and I must say it's a very pleasant environment. Marred only by the fact that it's not shareable - for that, you need Wedoist, apparently. But it's quite exp...
New Ipad, what apps to put on it?
12/14/2012
Well, OneNote and the various OneNote clients for iOS are definitely a good option.
Otherwise there's the iOS text editor plus Dropbox plus Windows text editor approach (quite popular, as you'll hav...
