Together on the Mac

Greetings:

A while back I posted on my settling on Devonthink Pro for my PIM on my MacBook. It is still there, but I am using a different program at work. At work I use Together from Reinvented software.(http://reinventedsoftware.com/)
I am working in a company which is mostly Windows, and have a windows laptop. The company is currently piloting macs. I manage to get in to the pilot program and have been using a MacBook Air for a couple of months now. There are some problems with using OS X at work; we have a lot of on line software which is Java based. Unfortunately, it isn’t written in standard Java so it won’t run under Java on OSX. Fortunately, with VMware Fusion I can run xP software, including the Java apps, on my Air. Best of all possible worlds.
The Air is running Leopard, which means I could try Together, which only runs under Leopard. t is very simialr to Devonthink Pro, but I fid it easier to use Particularly in regard to the use of smart folders. I can very easily set up smart folders that look at the content of the stuff I have stored in Together, and there are simple boolean conditions you can use in your searches. Very nice.
I haven’t upgraded my own MacBook to Leopard, but I probably will, just so I can run Together. Give it a try.
