Ideamason 3.0 released 1/20/2007

Graham, in retrospect I have no choice but to agree with your assessment of Eric's behaviour, the promises, and the arrogance. Initially, I found him more open. To his credit, some features resulted ...

Ideamason 3.0 released 1/19/2007

Steve, make that three -- Dominik, in addition to Jan and I, was a staunch advocate. I am not thinking that Eric is an idiot -- but I do get the sense that he's under a tremendous degree of stress. ...

Ideamason 3.0 released 1/19/2007

Dominik, thanks for your thoughtful reply. I concur with your concerns re ADM, and its communication history. Eric is either very communicative, or you hear nothing at all. The last straw for me was ...

Ideamason 3.0 released 1/18/2007

Dominik, I recall your enthusiasm for ADM and the effort, like Jan, you put into providing constructive feedback on the ADM Development list. What has caused you to move away from ADM? Re UR: When I ...

MyInfo 3.59 released 1/17/2007

Steve, that's a pretty good overview of MI's features. Last week I wrote that I amusing MI and WhizFolders. I am liking both, but if MI allowed multiple open windows I would give up WhizFolders. MI, ...

Outliner with flexible, sortable columns 1/11/2007

Steve, I agree with you about MyInfo. Ariadne does not have columns ADM has probably the most advanced system of columns, but I would recommend waiting until version 4 is released. That may happen s...

Surfulater Helps Overcome Pasting Problems 1/7/2007

I have often been frustrated by info programs that do not allow an accurate pasting of web pages. Given that so much info comes from the web, this problem can't be overstated. I have found that often...

2007 Predictions 1/2/2007

Happy new year everyone! After listening to all kinds of predictions on local media, I wonder what kind of predictions my fellow Crimpers might have for 2007 in terms of new software developments, ap...

askSam - or not...? 12/23/2006

There are two programs that stand alone and deserve much credit for promising so much, delivering so little, and making a mockery out of the whole notion of consistent support: One is InfoSelect -- e...

Plain Text 12/20/2006

Steve, so does Treepad Lite actually save in plain text or is it a special Treepad file? Daly Stephen Zeoli wrote: >Derek, > >If you're looking for a plain text editor with a hierarchical tree >str...

Plain Text 12/20/2006

Chriss, Derek, Wes and all, I have now downloaded EditPad, UltraEdit, and Emeditor -- talk about a major CRIMP attack -- must be the devilishly short hours of daylight on the Canadian Prairies at this...

Plain Text 12/20/2006

We, I have downloaded the free version of EditPad, and like the fact I have the choice of tabs and/or multiple open windows -- which makes it great for writing. I am not yet clear on the difference b...

OneNote 12 Trial 12/20/2006

Ray, the suggestion for the ability to hoist has certainly been made to UR many times. ADM not only hoists on topic, but you can select on the basis of key words, which provides another way to get at...

Plain Text 12/19/2006

Wes, thanks. Can it have two or more windows open at the same time, or are you always having to tab back and forth? Daly Wes Perdue wrote: >Daly de Gagne wrote: > >>Also, in terms of plain >>text e...

Plain Text 12/19/2006

I know that a number of you have been posting about plain text, and its advantages. My understanding is that Zoot is plain text -- is that correct? Also, in terms of plain text editors, such as Note...

Chinese Impact on ADM 12/18/2006

Samal, thanks for your post. I am familiar with Mybase -- I do not know CyberArticle. ADM is being developed in Beijng, but apart from that I do not have a sense of what the target market is. What...

Surfulater v2 Release 12/17/2006

Surfulater v2 was released on the 15th. Looks good. So far, I am finding it the best of the various web clipping programs I have seen. In fact, it could easily double for most of the two-pane outliner...

Chinese Impact on ADM 12/17/2006

A question I have wondered about from time to time with re to ADM, is the extent to which the Chinese market has dictated the course of ADM. ADM began as a Canadian product. A few years ago Eric mov...

Any ADM news? 12/17/2006

Jan, yes, that's the development group. The post appeared just recently. What are the people you know moving on to as they lose interest in ADM? I want to see ADM succeed -- I think it is unique. I ...

Other Programs Technology Passed By 12/16/2006

I think what happened is that once upon a time some of these programs were ok, but that other developers' technology and imaginations passed them by. My favourite love to hate program, simply because...

Any ADM news? 12/16/2006

Jan, it was on the group in a post from Eric. It was also noted that work was continuing on the new data engine. Perhaps the data engine's Chinese version is already completed, so the Chinese are ge...

Any ADM news? 12/16/2006

Jan and Ken, I note that ADM has begun selling in China -- but no word exactly when it will begin selling here. Presumably that is ADM 4 selling in China. I would hope that those of us in the Englis...

Other Programs Technology Passed By 12/15/2006

Steve, honestly, I do not know enough about the plain text issue to take a position, although some of the points make sense. I am referring to lack of features -- in essence, what I see in some of th...

Any ADM news? 12/15/2006

Thanks, Ken. I haven't checked the email account the list comes in on, so appreciate hearing that a new version will be out soon. I hope with the new database engine that the program is shipshape and ...

B Liner -- still being deveoped or dead in the water 12/15/2006

Graham, I got a reply. Apparently there will be some upgrades, but no significant feature changes. Daly Graham Smith wrote: >Daly > >>Graham, I got it to download, and I have email asked for more i...
