Zoot News

I bought a license for Zoot when I enrolled in an online MBA course a year-and-a-half ago. I was hoping that it could be my main information manager for all my academic information.
On the way, I fo...
This has been a year of minimal new acquisitions; these have included SQLnotes (now InfoQube) which I am still learning and have great expectations for. Other than that, I made attempts to streamline ...

The new MindManager has taken some interesting steps towards integration with, well, just about everything but the kitchen sink. Take a look: http://www.mindjet.com/products/mindmanager/

search for single repository
11/1/2008
I would agree with Steve Z. that a single repository for everything is for now unrealistic --and, as far as my own needs are concerned, probably for the future as well.
