Profound Disappointment
8/9/2010
Quant, I agree with you.
On the one hand I have spent too much time trying to find one program to do it all in terms of information. ADM perhaps could have been such a program, but it is gone.
So I ...

Andreas, please do not apologize for raising your voice. I was hoping for that, because for me this is a critical situation.
I appreciate what you say about DevonThink, and it is the one program I ca...

Wes, thanks to you and the others for giving me some push-back on this. I do appreciate it - if anything, having cut my computer teeth on the Mac in the 90s until 2002, I may have set my expectations ...
Profound Disappointment
8/9/2010
As I continue to explore programs here on my new Mac, a very profound kind of disappointment is growing.
Quite honestly, I came back to the Mac with a great deal of optimism that programs, especially...
Thanks Steve.
I notice you didn't mention OpenOffice - is there an issue with it?
I will look at Nissus.
Since I started this thread I took a quick look at Scrivener. I can use the Binder to open f...
I have been so busy with outliners for my new Mac, I have not much looked at word processors. I did download Open Office, Mellel, and Scrivener. I wonder if there's advantage to also checking out Niss...
Mac: Notebook vs Notetaker
8/9/2010
Steve, I think I have got the NoteBook linking to work consistently - though it is apparent the help file missed a couple of details.
Since I am in rant mode - why when we deal with outliners do deve...
Mac: Notebook vs Notetaker
8/9/2010
Steve, I had tried this - and am told that it does not link between notebooks, although the help file says the opposite.
I do exactly what the help file says, and get no where. It is the same story a...
Mac: Notebook vs Notetaker
8/9/2010
As I continue to work with NoteBook, I am amazed to find out the link feature does not let me make a link within the same notebook or between different notebooks. Oops. (If I am missing something, and...
If I look at the outliner programs in terms of feature sets, Mori looks good on paper.
But...doing something so simple as setting up a new column leads me to having to set up a new file in the name o...
Mac: Notebook vs Notetaker
8/8/2010
Steve, thanks for your feedback.
The proof is often in the pudding, and I've found that getting into Notebook is easier than I thought. It actually felt kind of intuitive. (Am very disappointed in th...
Mac: Notebook vs Notetaker
8/8/2010
Hugh, thanks. I'll check out the two programs you suggested.
I'm liking Devon Think - but on the other hand, am finding it covers a lot of the same ground as EverNote - and EN is a lot more pleasant ...
Mac: Notebook vs Notetaker
8/8/2010
Any thoughts on Notebook vs Notetaker?
They seem similar to me in ways from first quick look.
But Notebook has some template setups which seem helpful, though I could probably replicate them in Note...
Back to Mac

Steve, thanks. I have just downloaded MacJournal. Will let you know how it works out.

Back to Mac
8/7/2010
Thanks Stephen to you, and to others who are responding to my hypomanic flurry of posts as I try - stupidly, perhaps - to explore the whole landscape at once
I like the Neo features - possibly. But j...
I have read the OmniOutliner forum threads on the possibility of having cloning in a future version of OO. The developer makes a case for the difficulty of introducing cloning, based on a number of fa...
Tao a Joke?
8/7/2010
I am trying Tao.
Using the menu to insert a date gives me a time (which I do not want. If I did I would use insert time and date.
And the year it sets for the date is 2006.
Can anyone explain what ...
Back to Mac
8/7/2010
David, thanks for the note. In fact, I did download Opal this afternoon, and will look at it carefully.
I used to use ACTA and quite liked it.
While I don't want an overly complex application, I do ...
Tom, what do you see as the flaws, and what I should be aware of as I get into Devon Think?
I just started a new threat on getting back to the Mac, describing my CRIMP overdose, and listing the progr...
Back to Mac
8/6/2010
It has taken eight years, but I am back with a Mac - and it seems better than ever. But now for the hard work of moving stuff, setting up some new software, and getting some work done!
I said here I ...
Hey Tom, thanks for the post.
I use the desktop client. However, I find with Chrome it is faster to use the EN extension and clip to the cloud. When I open EN, whatever has been clipped to the cloud ...
Here's how a REAL man outlines

Hugh, thanks - you're right - I did enjoy that? This guy could well be the world's best customer for Post-Its!

V5 Safari has introduced extensions, so I hope Evernote soon has a Safari extension.

Interesting outline, that!
Could be on a restaurant place mat.
It has elements of a mind map to it. I wonder if it was done prior to Tony Buzan making his questionable claim to have invented mind ma...
Evernote2 replacement
8/2/2010
I agree with the concern of basic features which are missing from EverNote - and they have been told plenty of times about it.
When people like me get to cantankerous and repetitive in making the poi...
