Hi Q,

CRIMP is an in-forum joke, and means “compulsive-reactive information management purchasing”, and CRIMPERs are people who have this “disease”. Basically, it described the compulsion many of us here have to try and purchase any new information management tool or outliner released, and move data constantly between them, never quite deciding to stick with any one of them.

ADM (“Advanced Data Management”) is a defunct software, much missed by some, at http://www.adm21.net/ . Don’t purchase it, though, as there’s nobody behind the site any more to send unlock keys. There seems to have been internal differences in decisions about the direction the software was taking. Don’t get us started on that, though .... :-)
