Crimping in the 80s and 90s

I was searching for some info on old PIMs I used to use back in the 80s and 90s, and stumbled on Google Books (books.google.com). I typed in “ecco pro packrat pim” and got to read some of the old articles that I probably read about these and other products back in the day. It brought back good (and some bad) memories of how I used to research PIMs back then, reading every magazine article I could and finally making that decision to buy the software. No real demo software, you had to be sure before you took out the credit card.

Since I am moving (back) to Devonthink Office Pro, I was just reminiscing about the software I used in the past, and how I am still searching for the Holy Grail now. If I ever added up all of the time I spent researching, trying, learning, reorganizing, etc. of new software, I probably could have earned a PhD by now. But what would be the fun of that ;)
