What I intended to add above is "Yes, I have experience of Mac PIMs", and "Yes, some Mac PIMs are good, but often in ways somewhat different from Windows PIMs".
As with Windows PIMs there are d...

Mac OSX as a PIM?

Just to say - go for it, Vince.
I migrated to a MacBook a couple of months ago, and like Kenneth I haven't looked back. I can't address the specifics of your questions because I don't use the Mac for...

Graham,
What I intended to post above was:
There is of course also wonderful old Zoot, which I'm sure could be made to fit your criteria, subject to:
- your owning and understanding it already
- y...

Task managers

I'm also a fan of Achieve Planner.
However, when I used it, I didn't find it was particularly good at quick and simple data entry; it didn't have a system-tray "side-note-type" entry system, as MLO h...

OK Graham, here's another: http://www.codeproject.com/tools/ToDoList2.asp
And another that's essentially an Outlook add-on: http://www.taskline.com/
More generally, as I'm sure you're aware, there a...

Writing tools

I've used IdeaMason 3, SuperNoteCard, Scrivener and Writer's Blocks.
All of them are writing tools, of different kinds and comprehensiveness.
IMO it would be a mistake to try to use any of...

Dominik:
Scrivener
DevonThink or TinderBox
OmniOutliner (for task management)
Or to play by the implicit rules:
IdeaMason
Zoot or UR3 (probably Zoot)

A toss-up between OneNote 2007 and Ecco. Probably Ecco.

What would make UR a better writing tool for me? I spent quite a while thinking about this last year. The answer came to me when I read a thread in this forum called something like "An Outliner ...
Cassius
InfoMason? Would that be the Crimper's perfect Christmas present? ;)
UltraRecall and IdeaMason are "apples and oranges", or at least lemons and limes. UltraRecall is a knowledge and informat...
In the Windows world, another vote for IdeaMason. It's very good for all the reasons given above, with a flexible but not over-complicated UI, and the general direction of its development as indicated...

Ecoo Pro (http://supportweb.netmanage.com/ts_viewnow/downloads/patchesUnsupported/ecco.asp).
I believe it fits your criteria.
Starting fresh

An interesting thread.
I too very much like the look of Scrivener. But without a Mac, like others I'm reposing hopes in IdeaMason. It remains to be seen whether IM will remove the need for Zoot, plus...
2007 Predictions

One other omission from your list is Evernote 2.0, currently out in beta. For those who prefer tagging to hierarchies in their note-takers, it provides a relatively inexpensive option.
Overall...
This is what the IM site says: "Right now we are at looking at releasing Version 3.0 towards the end of December/early January."

IdeaMason appears to be generally held in high regard, as much for the potential of its new version which is previewed extensively on its site and is due to be released this month (December), a...

I like OneNote's sidenote feature.
However, for me on a daily basis it's Outlook 2003 Cntrl-Shift N. Later you can send your notes to most of the places you might want to - Zoot, Ultra Recall, Palm P...
Ultra Recall. No columns as such, but you can search on keywords and (customisable) attributes, and view a panel that looks back one generation - parents, that is, but not grandparents or great-grandp...
