> these most effective combining tools are strictly design-oriented and offer little in the way of rapidly and abstractly “playing around” with one’s information and notes, much in the way one would do with a scrap book, drawing board or whatever.

A couple of quotes related to tools and creativity might be applicable:

“#3 pencils and quadrille pads.”

—Seymour Cray (1925-1996), father of supercomputing, when asked what CAD tools he used to design the Cray I supercomputer; he also recommended using the back side of the pages so that the lines were not so dominant.

“I just bought a Mac to help me design the next Cray.”

—Seymour Cray when informed that Apple Inc. had recently bought a Cray supercomputer to help them design the next Mac.
