Thanks for the feedback Dr Andus!

Of all of the outliners that I’ve seen and read about, the two that most interest me for their power are Infoqube and ConnectedText. The latter, which I know from reading your posts, you use extensively and are very impressed with. I read the link you posted for CT, thanks very much for that. I had a look around on the blog and this is a software I’d very much like to roadtest. However at this time I am progressing with data inputting diffuse and extensive information from EssentialPIM and Mempad into Rightnote, which is more advanced as a notetaker than the other two (which are very limited in comparison with the many fascinating softwares mentioned on this great forum) and when I have fine tuned my information storage I can then look at the next step of putting 1 or more specific topics into the likes of CT and then trial and error it and spend time learning how to get the most from this software.

I’ve purposely bookmarked your blog for when i do try CT. I will get back to you, (and ask for advice I expect) when I do try it out. Thanks again!!
