Why do you CRIMP?

Very interesting what you said, Alexander.

The slightly paranoid side in me keeps questioning if the lack of more powerful (while still being intuitive, quick and fun ) tools for dealing and managing big amounts of data *in a PERSONAL/INDIVIDUAL* level isn’t actually a deliberate omission by the big players in the tech/software world.

After all, the lack of market can’t be used as an excuse if we consider that people don’t know what they need/want until they actually get it.

If we consider the gaming industry, comparing the progress made in the last two decades, and compare it with the PIM software market in the same period of time, then the situation really deserves a small laugh.

Civilization -> Civ5
Grandview and Lotus Agenda -> ???

When a single tool (or coordinated set of tools) give me the power of working with my pool of data in the, at least, *most* ways I can imagine, while making it fun and mentally provoking in the process, then maybe I’ll stop CRIMPing! (the preview of the Liquid Text projeect, mentioned earlier here, comes to mindl)

In a small answer, i CRIMP because i like learning, because I believe Knowledge is important, and that computers should help in the process of acquiring knowledge.

Salutations,
