Mind versus tree navigation; html versus rtf editing

Graham,

MyBase ver. 5.3 with the plug-in WebCollect uses both RTF and HTML, will search both, and, I think, edit both. Note: The developer [www.wjjsoft.com] says that it runs under Vista but WebCollect sometimes has problems when used with IE. Developer suggests using FireFox with WebCollect if you have Vista.

Ian, thanks for Info on Brain. It certainly appears to be the kind of thing Graham is looking for. EverNote certainly has a different interface…or can one even call it an interface? More of a dumpster, I think. In DOS days, the creator of MaxThink also created a program that linked among nodes pretty much any way you wanted.

Even back in DOS days there were PIM programs that let you create hyperlinks to anything along with a path back. While the idea appeared marvelous, I found that, in practice, flitting from one item to another, to another, to ... via hyperlink soon led to my becoming lost, even with the bread crumb path back. I’ll let my brain flit, but I need some structure for saved information.
