New Mind Mapping Software: Buzan's iMindMap 3/9/2007

I see what you mean by the hype!! It is difficult to ascertain what the application actually does, and how it differs from similar products on the market, without running the beta - which I don't pro...

Two new tools recently joining my favorites 3/9/2007

Goalenforcer looks interesting but is, as you say, rudimentary. It doesn't give enough of an overview for me to use in preference to my other project management tools (Project Kickstart & MindManager...

Interesting thread Phil. Thanks for the comments. I've been in customer service management for many years so I have a particular interest in this subject. My take FWIW - The principles of good cus...

So what happened to Idea 2/10/2007

I mentioned in the thread about new developments for 2007 that last year had been a very quiet one for Sycon (and Brainstorm) at least from a user perspective. I'll drop a line to Christian and ask h...

Starting fresh 1/10/2007

Steve My only other suggestion would be a mind mapper. If you're working on projects, a visual image is often very useful. I use MindManager occasionally when I need to, but there are plenty of oth...

2007 Predictions 1/5/2007

Francis A minor correction, if you don't mind .. OneNote 2007 doesn't need Windows Desktop Search. It's own internal search function is quite powerful and IMHO doesn't require the added overhead of...

DTSearch and Archivarius again 1/3/2007

Graham I assume you've considered X1. The desktop version is now free. I find its UI very appealing and its not too resource hungry. When I last looked about 12-18 months ago, X1 was well ahead of...

2007 Predictions 1/3/2007

I'm probably more interested in the information management rather than the hardcore writing features of these software products. I've been playing with OneNote 2007 and am very impressed. MS has cer...

OneNote 12 Trial 12/19/2006

Thanks for your responses Ray. One last question - what do you do with emails you want to archive? - Inside OneNote? - Link to OneNote? - Leave archived in Outlook? - Some other solution? Jack

OneNote 12 Trial 12/19/2006

Hi Ray I've been waiting with some anticipation to the next version of OneNote too. However, I've never really thought of it replacing all my PIMs, especially in the data storage department. If I m...

Quick capture for Mind Manager 11/10/2006

I like the OneNote sidenote scheme too (a version is in the current OneNote 2003). The only problem is that you have to be running OneNote to get the functionality. (I think that is right). GyroQ do...
