Software Recommendation (Onenote vs. Others)

Sorry for taking so long to come back to this thread. I believe that for now I’ll stick with Onenote since Microsoft has continued to develop it and I believe that it will become nice to use when they can come up with a metro version for the iPad. My concerns about future-proofing are not too bad since I know Microsoft will stick with Onenote for the foreseeable future. Because of that, I’m sticking with my system that I based off of Daniel’s system for his Circus Ponies notebook. Where I have notes from my sources in one notebook then I have a topic notebook dedicated to specific topics (neuroanatomy, cognitive neuroscience, psychiatry, etc.).

However, if Onenote were to ever go to hell (very possible when it’s Microsoft that’s developing stuff), I would probably moved to a system of either Dokuwiki or ConnectedText since they both use plain text as the way to hold their files. Then with appropriate file naming for my images, and referencing to the file names in the text, I can create a fairly future proof system too. But as of right now, there’s no good wiki that works on both iPad and my desktop without having to be connected to the internet all the time.
