Okay, I’m in.

2003:

ECCO- general PIM duties, plus one vital research database, heavily cross-referenced.
AskSam- unstructured information dump for everything else
Eudora- email

2007:

ECCO- general PIM duties, plus one vital research database, heavily cross-referenced. (i.e., no change here)
MyInfo- structured information storage for almost everything else
Surfulater- storage of web clippings where format and appearance are important
NoteMap- writing tool
Barca- email, and hopes that some day its tasks and calendar functions (pitiful now) will be useful enough I can migrate that function from ECCO

(What about 1993? IIRC, it would have been Pegasus Mail for email, and KAMAS (MS-DOS) for almost everything else.)
