LOL, I think this is the one of two forums on the Internet where MS users complain about feeling left out! (The other being Jekyll, and that works on W once you install Ruby.) Now you know how Mac users feel about nearly every other kind of software. All too often, if it exists on MacOS, it’s nobbled in annoying ways (see MS Office).

I don’t know why, but Macs have always gotten most of the attention when it comes to outliners, PIMs, and other CRIMP-ish software. I remember >20 years ago (I think it was 1993), I was using a W3.1 box at work & found a free to-do list manager for it. I thought it was pretty cool back then. Outliners with checkbox entries are far more versatile, though.
