[[So I’m always facing a compromise between what I’d like to use and what I have to work with. Apps that talk to each other are essential for my work environment, but probably irrelevant to others.]]

Jack, I think you’ll find this is increasingly important to many people. Those of us who work in an office environment often have various bits of software foisted upon us (though rarely anything interesting such as a decent info manager!), so if we add anything ourselves, it has to integrate.

Recently, spurred on by Daly’s praise for Infohandler, I’ve been having a second look at it. One of the things that I like about it is dragging and dropping emails from Outlook/Outlook Express to instantly create a new item in the database. This kind of integration is essential to maintain any kind of productivity if you’re going to make heavy use of an info manager.

And I agree with Daly about Infohandler. Something put me off first time around (the program does not have an immediately inviting interface). But once you get comfortable with Infohandler’s category system, its power and ease of use is attractive. It’s certainly now on my info manager shortlist.
