Thanks Chris, this was very helpful. I may try out Omni on a used Mac. Thing is is that I’d need two—one for at work and one for at home - I don’t want to always lug a laptop back and forth and sometimes I need my PC laptop so I don’t want to have to lug two. I just discovered a neat use for parallel views in ecco, so for the time being ecco is keeping me entertained. But it sounds like Omni might be a great ecco replacement and more which is still being developed. Not sure I want to deal with syncing 4 computers though. Syncing two is painful enough, as syncing software just does not seem to work entirely robustly (foldershare, beinsync, powerfolder, etc). But getting two older macs used might not be as expensive as I thought, as you mentioned, Omni doesn’t seem like too demanding of an app—If I can do writing, use Omni, do a little surfing and email writing that’s all I probably need to do on the Mac.
