Many thanks everyone.

Cassius-thanks for reminding me about the UR trick to make it have “smart folders” I think I will give it a try.

Dominik-thanks for the vote of confidence for Tinderbox. It looks really useful. I have to admit that I have been waiting a long time for it to come to Windows.

Hugh-thanks for the word on Devonthink. I have to admit that it seems like the best software for what I want to do. Yes, primarily I am looking for a data manager. One of the things that I like to be able to do, even in the current world of fast search, is keep like things together. So I try to keep all of my project files together.

One thing, while I am switching my personal machine to a Mac, I am stuck with a PC at work. That’s where I have the biggest challenge in organizing information.
