fellowthe t Crimpers:

I have been using a MacBook in real life for the last several months. I am happy(mostly)with the software that I have for keeping track of info on the mac. I use Devonthink for most things, and Papers for the scientific papers that I use. I have also bought Eaglefiler and like it, but don’t use it as much as Devonthink.

I am using a Windows XP machine at work, and I have Onenote 2007 on that for most of the clippings and little bits of info that I need.

However, I need something a little bit more heavy duty for keeping track of PDF files, Word files, and other stuff that is project related. Since I haven’t been focusing on the XP side for a while, what’s out there these days?

Zoot was a useful program, but ithas limitations in the kind of files that you can store. Omea Pro was nice, but a bit too overbuilt for anything other than experimenting. I need something that will function with as little fiddling as possible. While I am happy to fiddle, I don’t really have the time to fiddle at work.

Anybody got any suggestions?

Jim.
