I first started using outliners with ThinkTank and for me it was one of the programs that changed personal computers from a toy to a tool. As things evolved I continued to use outliners and review most of the products on the market for a computer magazine. In the end I still have More on my current Mac, and I either use that or Frontier’s outliner when need to bump up my thinking productivity. It was a sad day for me when outliners “failed” in the marketplace. Too bad we couldn’t remember the the things we first learned about organizing our thoughts in grammar school with a paper and pencil outline to refining an leveraging them with a computer outliner. These programs may be antiques, but they are mighty valuable to the few who continue to use them.
