I might argue that Curio is a little farther away from the ON notebook paradigm, but I won’t. I think we all see different things in these applications.

I thought Curio was really interesting. Many, many features. My problem with it was that I kept running into bugs when I tried it. It could be that I was just using the wrong features through bad luck. But I kind of got the impression that the developer was adding features almost as they occurred to him rather than thoughtfully building the program slowly from the ground up. It’s a common trap in my experience.

I admit that I could be way, way off on this. The program is certainly worth a try.

Like you, I strongly recommend PersonalBrain. Wonderful, cross-platform program. Solid as a rock. The only disadvantage here would be that it’s less likely to take advantage of the Mac’s native features.
