Jim,
what would the closest equivalent to Papers be on the PC?

Update: I've been trying out EverDesk (originally Optima, now settling on Mail). I like the core concept and will be registering the program. It represents the most convenient way to back up my e-mail...

Wishing you Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, all the best during whatever feast you are observing.
And a joyful and prosperous 2009 no matter what predictions say :-)
All the best,
Alexander
Warning on Bits du Jour
12/24/2008
As far as I know, BdJ comments are published normally. My own recent comments on TVzation ( http://www.bitsdujour.com/software/tvzation-ii/ ) were published immediately, without moderation.

This article, recently shared at the Zoot list, suggests that the scientific world faces as much information overflow as many of us, and more:

Hi Yosem,
I think you are unlikely to find everything you are looking for in a single program (it would probably come quite close to what some of us would call the Holy Grail in information managemen...
Notecase Pro in 2008
12/22/2008
For the programmers in the forum, Notecase Pro's latest build offers syntax highlighting for a very large number of languages.
What makes this even more powerful is that syntax highlighting can be se...

Michal, thanks for the heads-up on Eluma. It looks like an interesting tool, especially since it provides synchronisation between computers.

Glad to have been of help :-)
By the way, regarding Chrome --which I also flirted a while with- you might want to check the following stories suggesting that it is nothing short of a resource hog, as...
Web Capture

Yes, I've been using it for many years. It's extremely stable and also keeps 3 rolling backups of each bookmark file that you use. I personally only use one file which is actually maintained in a virt...

From what I gather, what you are looking for (URL, page title and have a field for comments) should be offered by any 'bookmark manager' out there. I personally use LinkStash ( http://www.xrayz.co.uk/...
Just a note to say that Evernote has now added file synchronisation to its premium accounts:

Ken,
You will be pleased to hear that the 'endless roll' metaphor no longer applies to Evernote (3) at least in the web and, I think, the Mac version. One now gets nice single sheet views of notes. I...
I am not sure about show/hide, but for lots of text within table cells I would suggest that you try out a rather idiosynchratic freeware tool known as Notebox Disorganizer ( http://www.geocities.com/g...

Hi Vladimir,
Many thanks for the information. I will definitely try out the program; the message-to-file approach may solve an important issue --backup- which can take ages with large Outlook --or, i...

Just a note for the file, to say that Notecase Pro now has a discussion group at Google:

I would expect treating every mail message as a separate file to have certain limitations. For one, it would lead to much greater disk use and I would question its speed for large numbers of emails. M...
Netbooks - Hardware CRIMP?
12/5/2008
Apologies for the confusion. That should have been "offering more than twice a netbook’s specifications for less than TWICE the price", i.e. that the specifications per dollar are much better. S...
Netbooks - Hardware CRIMP?
12/5/2008
Ken,
My own netbook experience is, as yet, rather short (I only bought mine less than a month ago) and limited to Linux, but you might find it useful nonetheless. You might also want to check out Dav...
John, Bob, many thanks for the quick response. I see that there's not much danger of getting trapped inside a non-generic format which is a good thing.
I will also try Chapter by Chapter because it o...
