Outline +
2/19/2013
I've had good experiences with Outline+, which is a very nicely designed app. Having said that, there are other nicely designed apps out there, not all of which have desktop clients. I think Franz alr...
There is something immensely friendly about The Guide. The only thing I really miss is a word count facility - Germanists should note that it does count characters, which is already useful. It's one o...
[scampering of tiny CRIMPing feet to check out MemPad - weeeeeee!]
Yes, you're right, I hadn't noticed that - but as you say, you can mouse it. And you can play with the icons, too, which means you can create some really charming sets of notes in an app that doesn't ...
My top fave for precisely the kind of use you're talking about is The Guide (freebie, now on SourceForge at theguide.sourceforge.net). Although I'm not entirely sure it defaults to a standard font, it...
As I watch the way the Big Boys are fiddling about with their operating systems, I find myself feeling more and more bemused - and irritable.
The sheer messiness of Windows 8, and the lack of care be...
EndNote update!

Oh dear, couldn't control... the CRIMP impulse. It's all mine! My Precious!

Looks pretty damn powerful, actually - a complete research hub.
EndNote update!

Goodness, EndNote have just published an app for iOS - specifically for the iPad. Very interesting!
Document Management Systems

Having looked into DMS to manage our fairly sophisticated requirements, I heartily concur that you have to define exactly what you want if you're going to get any value out of a full-scale DMS. There ...

Another nice option (for the same price) is Outliner Pro for Android coupled with TreePad (the freebie version will do); Outliner Pro supports .hjt files (even rich-text ones, if you've got the Busine...

Does look nice, but Ema Personal Wiki does it for free... Mind you, it's not as CintaNotes-like.
Paperless / PaperPort 14

Yes, 64-bit Windows is supported (as stated on the home page on Benubird's website) - but full-text searching isn't! How's that in a purported 'document management' application!?!
Amazing!

It is a truly elegiac piece, which very nearly made me feel nostalgic myself when I read it... despite the fact I've never actually used GrandView!
As for tea - you're right, Ken! My mounting sense o...
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 ...
Multiple Monitors

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...

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...
