Hi Jim,

I don’t think that Mori is related to NoteTaker. I think NoteTaker’s “twin” is Circus Ponies’ Notebook. Mori was developed by Jesse Grosjean of Hog Bay Software, who sold it on three or four years ago but has since developed TaskPaper and WriteRoom. Jesse is self-evidently a talented developer.

As far as information management is concerned, I too use DevonThink on the Mac. For a while I experimented with various less heavyweight, less sophisticated applications, using them instead of DevonThink when it seemed undesirable to bring out the DT Magnum weapon. But since DT introduced the Sorter and Take Note, and various Applescripts, bookmarks and extensions were written to allow notes and documents to be imported into DT quickly and easily, I’ve used DT alone. To mix metaphors freely, the advantage of having all one’s notes and documents under one flag has outweighed the continuing slight disadvantage of occasionally using a jackhammer to crack a nut.
