Hi Bill and Maurice -
In the PC World, MyInfo has long had columns, and I have found it pretty good for handling information. I recommend it to anyone looking for an outliner with columns. I found MyInfo, with its columns, quite helpful for tracking my reading across multiple genres, as well as a place to generate and keep ideas.
Petko, the developer, keeps updating and improving MyInfo, and the headline on website states, “MyInfo is the most versatile organizer for Windows” - definitely worth checking out.
