Dominik - good to see you!

I sometimes think of ADM also, and wish that it had survived. In ways it was before its time. Visually, I especially liked that ADM didn’t resemble other Windows programs - it had its own unique look.

My apologies to the group for inadvertently posting twice.

Not sure if this is what you were looking for, but the first thing that comes to my mind is Evernote. Once my notes reached a critical mass, probably around 10,000, it became really useful.

By then it contained a good part of the important background information related to my work and interests. This meant that most of the times I would ask myself “now what was it that I had read sometime ago on that topic?” a quick search in Evernote would give me something of value to help me further advance my thinking. I would say that it became for me a real-life Memex https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memex

Previously, I would probably have started a web search, come up with a mutltitude of irrelevant results and, before I realised, gone off on a tangent –to which I am very much prone. So Evernote has indeed helped me grow my thinking in an ‘unexpected’ way in the sense that, without it, I would have been ‘expected’ to lose focus or at least a lot of time!

That said, I have now hot a plateau –Evernote has a hard limit of 100,000 notes– so I need to find my next Memex tool…
