I LOVE this forum!

I HATE this forum!

I was pretty content in my software and workflows until recently when trying to access information while on vacation. I have tried really, really hard not to CRIMP over the past few years, and to consolidate my programs into a few key ones.

As those of us who frequent this forum know, it is almost an impossible task.

I have been happily using DevonThink and TaskPaper for the vast majority of my work, with Reminders for quick input while using my phone or iPad. TaskPaper imports Reminders very nicely. The toughest part is not having a great way to access TaskPaper in iOS (DevonThink shows the files, but without folding they are unwieldy). I have used Taskmator and Editorial, but have had some problems with each, so I try to stay away from using them.

While on vacation Drafts for Mac comes out, and I decided to jump on board again. But hey, it’s only one small program and isn’t all that expensive.

Then this thread.

I tried TinderBox awhile back and liked it, but thought it was overkill for what I needed at the time (and there may have been other considerations I can’t remember). I have always wanted to use TinderBox, sort of how I really want to use Curio more.

Now I find myself once again doing a trial of TinderBox and liking it so far. But the trial does not allow me to enter enough notes to really give it a good run, so I am unsure. The videos from Steve Z. were very much appreciated.

So, even though it won’t solve my original problem of accessing information in iOS, I find myself wanting something new. Drafts apparently did not quench that thirst for me. I am sure nothing really will in the long run. It is a battle most of us face.

But I do appreciate this forum and come by to catch up every few weeks or so. This thread was especially helpful (or not depending on whether you are looking at my bank account).

Thanks for all of the great information.
