You’re probably correct. Since signing up for the forum, I’ve downloaded the trials for most of the software that gets raved about here and almost all of them have serious learning curves. The power is clearly there, it’s just a matter of investing some serious time into making it do what I want…but of course, there’s just that, time (I still haven’t figured out Office 2007 yet…)

To think, I found this forum while trying to find a good WRITING outliner, nothing more and then learn about all this other crazy stuff.
