Becoming obsessed with the idea of a mac

I just posted in the thread on Windows vs Mac OS X, but I have a short break before my next meeting so I figured I would chime in here.
I switched to the Mac because of Devonthink, Eaglefiler and Aquaminds Notetaker. I like both Devonthink Pro and Eaglefiler, but I haven’t put as much stress on them as I should have. I also like Notetaker, but it is taking a bit of getting used to. It doesn’t quite work like Onenote does.
At work(where I am now)I am limited to a Windows XP machine. I use Onenote, and used to use Zoot. I haven’t tried installing the new version yet.
I like both of my machines, and can get done what I need to do using either machine.

The thing that I am excited by now is the wealth of info manager software out there on both platforms. Those of us who have been doing this for a while can remember the day when there was a dearth of both outliners, and decent info managers. Now there’s lots.

Find software that you like, and then make the operating system choice.

That being said, if you are taking a look at Devonthink, take a look at the info from Melodie Neal:

Also take a look at any of Ted Goranson’s posts at About This Particular Outliner:
