Profound Disappointment

Quant, I agree with you.

On the one hand I have spent too much time trying to find one program to do it all in terms of information. ADM perhaps could have been such a program, but it is gone.

So I realized where a split was falling, and that perhaps two programs - one for heavy duty capture of information from the web, journals, etc. And another for processing of ideas, and what I am uploading from brain - such as it is.

The Mac has made me think EverNote and MyInfo, and possibly Surfulater.

In the Mac, it would have been Omni Outliner and NoteBook to do essentially what I can do with MyInfo. MyInfo starts to look pretty good as soon as you forget using its web features, which are perhaps its weakest and quirkiest part.
