Good morning:
I apologize for the length of this posting, and the fact that it is slightly off-topic, but I have some things I need help with(Not outlining, at least not right now.)and this group see...
OneNote for Mac on the horizon...
3/18/2014
Another quick follow-up. Apparently it is out now, and it's free. Take a look here:

Papers vers 3.X for the Mac
11/25/2013
I realize that this is a little off-topic, but has anyone else upgraded to Papers vers 3.x, and had a disappointing experience? I have been a user of the program since vers 1.X. For those of you who d...
Scrivener 2.4 now available
10/10/2013
A colleague of mine, who is also working in the lab and writes papers for publications in journals like Journal of Neuroscience, recommended Scrivener as a replacement for Microsoft Word. Having read ...
I realize that those of us who use Macs are in the minority, but there are several ways to do this on a Mac.
If you print a page, then click in the Print Dialog on Open pdf in Preview, you can save ...
Good afternoon:
Like many, I used Google Reader for RSS. However, I seldom actually read the news in Google Reader. Mostly I used it to sync my desktop and mobile versions of RSS readers. On my Mac I...
Google Reader
4/12/2013
I am searching around for a replacement for Google Reader as well. However, my primary use for Reader is for syncing. I use Reeder on the Mac and Mr. Reader on the iPad. What I use Reader for is to sy...
Your top 3 tools?
2/27/2013
Similar to an earlier poster, I would say my top 3 tools are a pen, paper, and Microsoft Word. These days I spend more time writing than I used to.
However, if we are talking about outliners/infor...
Outline +
2/16/2013
Greetings:
A while back I posted that I was using MagicalPad on my iPad as an outliner. One of the things that I liked about MagicalPad is that you can tap anywhere and begin typing, much as you can...
Multiple Monitors
1/15/2013
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Here's a Mac user, albeit a MacBook Pro, not an iMac with its giant screen.
I was, for a short while, also a multi-monitor user. At my last job I had a very large desk with lo...
More on my iPad experiences
1/3/2013
Good afternoon everyone:
I hope that everyone has had a good holiday season.
As you will recall, I bought an iPad a while back and solicited suggestions as to what software to load onto it. I thoug...
Neo outliner
12/31/2012
Greetings:
I have been looking at Neo as an outliner to use on my Mac. I downloaded a trial version, but the software is not very well documented. It looks powerful, but it is hard to know how to get...
New Ipad, what apps to put on it?
12/18/2012
A brief update on my search.
First, thanks to everyone who posted with suggestions. I am working through them and looking at my options.
Second, I am quite happy with my iPad. It has filled the nich...
New Ipad, what apps to put on it?
12/12/2012
Okay, I'll answer my own question-Onenote for iOS is not worthwhile. That's kind of sad. On iOS it is a not very capable outliner and note taker. One of the things that I liked about Onenote on the PC...
New Ipad, what apps to put on it?
12/12/2012
Many thanks to all who replied. I am taking a look at the list and trying to decide what to put on my iPad. Once I have made some decisions and done some evaluations I will let everyone know what I de...
New Ipad, what apps to put on it?
12/7/2012
Good morning folks:
I finally bit the bullet and bought an iPad. I had been vacillating for a while, and then one day when I was looking at the stacks of pdfs on my desk at work I decided it was time ...
Peter:
In looking at your later postings it looks like your approach is coalescing around a useful set of tools.
I don’t use Zotero, but I tried it out. It is a great piece of software. If I w...
Peter:
It's been many years since I wrote my dissertation. So many that none of the programs that you mention were available. I suspect that the people who wrote them may not even have been born when ...
Best PIM for project management?
4/22/2012
This software looks pretty good. It has many of the things I have been looking for all in one. Unfortunately, it runs under windows, and not MacOs. Is there anything similar out there for the mac, and...
Docear - The Academic Literature Suite
4/21/2012
Looks pretty interesting. It would have to go a long way to beat my current setup. When I download PDF files, I drag them into Papers 2.1.17. This program does a pretty good job of dealing with the me...
First, welcome to the Mac. It's a great platform.
As to programs, I can add little to the list that has already been posted by Stephen and Hugh. I would only comment that if you don't want to use Mic...
Jumsoft Process
10/31/2011
Greetings:
I have been managing my CRIMPing pretty well for a while. However, I ran across a new(At least new to me.)outliner the other day and wondered if anyone had tried it. It's Mac only. It is ...
Mori gets an update
9/17/2011
I am interested in anything people can tell me about Mori, particularly with regard to how it compares to Notetaker. As I recall, both are derived from a program that was originally on Next, but the d...
About this particular outliner
8/14/2011
Anyone know what happened to Ted Goranson and his postings to About this particular outliner(http://www.atpm.com/Back/atpo.shtml)? The articles were great, but it hasn't been updated since 2008. Ted i...
Writng-Keeping versions straight
7/8/2011
Greetings Folks:
This isn't a post about new software, nor is it even about outliners or PIMs. I am not even suffering a case of CRIMP. But I do have a question. Does anyone have a good system for ke...
