Have you looked at My Life Organized? http://www.mylifeorganized.net
Powerful GTD filtering (views), Windows & PocketPC editions and it's under active development.

I've just noticed a reference on 43folders.com to a recent review in the New York Times Magazine of Scrivener and other Mac writing apps. May be of interest to some here with NYT access.
See www.43f...
My list is constrained by a strict SOE at my workplace:-
MS Office 2003 - especially Outlook and Word
MS OneNote 2007 (I managed to convince them to install it, and I'm enjoying the additional benef...

David & Marck have just advised existing customers of the first update of Brainstorm for a couple of years. An official announcement will be made later in the month.
The improvements are mostly unde...
XMIND 2008 At Bits du Jour Today
11/16/2007
I had a nasty crimp attack last night and bought this - even though I already own MindManager!
I use mind maps occasionally for project development and more frequently for team presentations.
What a...

It's a crying shame that PageFour does not offer outlining capabilities. While outlining gets mentioned in its promotional material, it offers the barest of bullet and number list functionality.

Is it worth it?
9/10/2007
Increasingly, I find mindmappers of only limited value for extended personal use. I sometimes use MindManager for initial idea generation but I find that I soon prefer to export the model to another ...
Brainstorm development
8/24/2007
Alex's recent mention of Brainstorm reminds me to ask Brainstormers whether they know anything about the immediate development plan for BS.
From my perspective, David & Marck (as well as Sycon/Idea!)...
Fast Word Processor w RTF & Outlining
8/24/2007
Search in these archives under "word processor". There are a couple of threads that examine Word alternatives.

Thanks for the review Tom
Two quick points:
- While the software has obviously been designed with the creative writer in mind, I'm sure it is also being used in a business context for original notes...
Heads-up on PageFour
6/20/2007
Bits du Jour have PageFour at 50% off today. For those who didn't pick it up on a previous occasion, I can heartily recommend it.
I've moved to a new job recently and I haven't been able to use MS O...
Upcoming MindManager 7
5/18/2007
The deal is even better than that.
According to the US site, you can upgrade from MM 2002 & X5 to MM7 for US$119. http://www.mindjet.com/us/getmm7/?go_id=210
I notice that there are also separate M...

Hello Graham
If you have a large number of documents in different formats already organised into folders, you could just use a good indexer such as dtSearch or X1 to find what you want when you need ...
Task managers
4/19/2007
Whenever I feel disorganized (which happens at regular intervals), I usually respond by trying to use a dedicated task manager. After a while, I find that it doesn't deliver the results I expected - ...

Thanks Chris
I'm resisting running the trial but I have a question. The info seems to imply that you can toggle between an editable outline and mapping view. Is that true?
If so it is one of very ...
I've found that OneNote 2007 satisfies my general PIM needs at the moment - it's especially powerful and flexible in sucking in data from all sorts of programs. I'm not a particular fan of Outlook or...

Thanks for the two tips. I think I'll probably move to Xyplorer. I have been using Powerdesk for many years, but it isn't under serious development any longer. The new tabbed approach is e...

Question for OneNote users
3/28/2007
Also woks for me.
Which version of OneNote are you using? Tables are only in ON 2007.
Jack
I find the choice of one app easier than three, as three probably isn't enough for me to cover a total project management environment.
My current three:
OneNote 2007
ProjectKickstart 4.0
MindManager ...
Isn't OneNote 4 votes as well as UR?
