TJohn,

If everyone’s 2 cents were like yours, this would be wikipedia :-) I am impressed.

Thanks for the heads up to various interesting applications I had never heard of. Here’s a couple more contributions:

The Treepad Linux version (Lite only) has been developed long ago and is apparently not compatible with contemporary Linux distributions; see http://www.treepad.com/linux/treepadlite/ The developer recommends using Wine to run the Windows versions.

As Linux is also my second OS, I have found Notecase Pro an excellent cross-platform outliner that is continuously developed: http://www.virtual-sky.com/index.php

Also, I would suggest that you try out the very clever TreeSheets http://www.treesheets.com/, what I would call a 2.5-dimensional outliner.

This is great. Personally, I have been trying out Livescribe http://www.livescribe.com to similar effect, as I find using pen and paper much easier than typing when listening to people.

Last but not least, I recommend the brilliant Simidude, a cross-platform shared clipboard that can work wonders when using PCs with different OS’s in a network http://www.agynamix.de/products/simidude/
