Hi all

I bought and used InfoSelect 8 about 2 years ago then never used it much. When V9 was introduced here - thank you Kenneth - I thought about it for about a day then CRIMP got the better of me.

Without going into too much detail at this point - being totally afflicated by CRIMP - I have used and tried everything. The latest was InfoHandler which is a very well engineered piece of software - yet I found its interface too—well claustraphobic is about the best term I can think of.

I have since been using IS 9 intensely since early yesterday - I am even experimenting with its email function, albeit using MS Outlook in parallel before I go the whole way. I have to say I’m extremely impressed - it somehow is just easier to work with than everything i’ve tried. For me, about the only major thing missing is the ability to add properties, like pick list tags, categories whatever to topics/notes (and then use such as alternative filters), like with UltraRecall or InfoHandler. Oh, and perhaps some of the advanced internal hypertext/hyperlinking as per AskSam, or WhizFolders.

Overall I’m really excited - its a proverbial Information Management junkie’s sweet shop!
