Steve -

Thanks. that was very helpful. It’s so easy to dismiss software after an all-too-short evaluation. MyInfo, for example, has a 30-day limit. I prefer the 30-non-sequential-day type of trial as it means one can come back to a program after having had to to be busy on something else.

I can see how useful MyInfo could be for certain tasks that Zoot can’t handle. For me, I think that maybe my requirements are simpler than those of many on the forum. For example, I don’t do project management, or need much in the way of PIM-type features, or places to store pdf and other files. I file-link them to Zoot in the main, though this does not facilitate sequential browsing. For special projects I tend to use Web Research, because it’s good for internet stuff, and its files can be linked to Zoot items, as well as being browsable (and categorizable) within WR itself. My recent shift - modest compared with Graham’s - back to plain-text has also had an effect. Once I had decided to accept Zoot as it is, keeping to plain test for as long as possible in the writing parts of a project seemed the easiest route to take.

We’ll see, though, as I have IdeaMason 3.0 - just in case :-).
