What's wrong with Outlook + Zoot? In addition to its Notes, Outlook also has its Journal entries, which provide longer Zoot-like items.

Undo in MaxThink - a workaround

> Stephen, you must be joking.
What is the interval you set the backup in MT?
For myself, I use versioned backups set to backup every few minutes whenever I am doing serious drafting (e.g. by using C...

I don't want to tempt fate by answering this question :-)

Biblioscape vs IdeaMason
10/21/2007
Daly,
I've just begun using Biblioscape 7, but probably won't be making much use of its note-taking features, since I use Zoot for this. What is interesting about v7 of Biblioscape, though, is that P...

Like you, I used GV extensively for all my work - still do, actually, although I have flirted with NoteMap, Inspiration (clunky somehow, as you say) and PocketThinker. Brainstorm, too, alth...
MyInfo V4 to Be Released in Few Days

Have you tried out the beta? If so, does it provide the universal links to topics and selected content (e.g., to paragraphs) - the way WhizFolders does - that can be used by other Windows prog...

Thanks very much for the url of your article commenting on CT. It really does make an excellent case for it.
I was about to launch into a discussion of how similar CT and Zoot are, for all...
Best software for emergent order
10/6/2007
Like Stephen Zeoli, I can't think of anything better than Zoot.
Zoot can act as a general repository, and its items can immediately or later be classified into broad subject clumps. When it comes to...

Thanks for clarifying. I think your work-around is a good one, and would be a useful way of dealing with any deficiency with ConnectedText links. It could also be used by other programs tha...

Does ConnectedText provide universal links to its content? That is, can you paste a link from its content into another program, which can then invoke ConnectedText and go to the content in ...

SQLNotes - A new Outliner

I thought about downloading this - it looks very interesting - but getting the download seems unduly difficult.
First, you have to hunt around for a download link on the home page (why no tab on the ...
Suggestions to replace Net Snippets?

Tom,
> and I’m sure Firefox does as well.
By default it can send links. I'm sure there will be an add-on somewhere to send pages.
Thanks very much. I hadn't thought of using Outlook in this way. ...
Suggestions to replace Net Snippets?
8/12/2007
Tom,
That's a very neat idea for people who get most of their data via email. Presumably you can also use Outlook's notes and journal entries in the same way. As the documents are attachments, how are...
Suggestions to replace Net Snippets?

Barcelona,
One other thing. Make sure that whatever you use can search doc and pdf files as well as ordinary htm web pages and text files. Almost any web-capturing software can capture and search htm...
Suggestions to replace Net Snippets?

Barcelona,
Do you use Firefox? If so, two possible add-ons (aka "extensions) worth investigating - and they are both free, of course - would Scrapbook, and Zotero. As a research librarian you might f...
