CRIMP fodder
1/21/2013
Another nice option (for the same price) is Outliner Pro for Android coupled with TreePad (the freebie version will do); Outliner Pro supports .hjt files (even rich-text ones, if you've got the Busine...

Does look nice, but Ema Personal Wiki does it for free... Mind you, it's not as CintaNotes-like.

Yes, 64-bit Windows is supported (as stated on the home page on Benubird's website) - but full-text searching isn't! How's that in a purported 'document management' application!?!
Amazing!

It is a truly elegiac piece, which very nearly made me feel nostalgic myself when I read it... despite the fact I've never actually used GrandView!
As for tea - you're right, Ken! My mounting sense o...
I've been taking another look at NOOKstudy, a rather good-looking app you can download for free from the Barnes & Noble website (more here: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/nookstudy/features/index.asp)....
Multiple Monitors
1/15/2013
Wow, interesting to hear from Mac users on the issues involved - I did wonder how well the latest versions of OS X handled multiple monitors. That's deffo a bit of a turn-off.
What about Linux? I've ...

What an interesting range of hardware - some big brutes on the monitor side, too!
What fascinates me, however, is that no Mac users have responded. And yet the iMac is one of the few desktops (apart ...

Aha! That suggests you have a twin-head graphics card? I wonder how many people get round to installing those. I always find it amusing that laptops/notebooks have them as a matter of course, but desk...
Thanks for your useful blog post on Outline 4D - very interesting. A shame development appears to have stalled. But perhaps we can exert some joint pressure!
Meanwhile I am going to sit down and with...

Another welcome from me.
But also an admission. I've read many contributions to this forum that suggest the good ole' days of DOS outliners were some kind of Golden Age.
I'm sorry - this may sound ...
I must say I like the streamlined look of the Outline 4D screen - not a lot of furniture getting in the way, there, the buttons all look very functional. I've downloaded the 5-day trial (bit stingy, w...
Dang! I'm jealous... of the two enormous monitors, mainly! I use a notebook + 18" monitor, but that pales into insignificance next to a 22" and a 19" combo.
It would be interesting to hear - purely f...
Steve, I'm frightfully excited by ProjectBook, especially once it starts to invade the desktop. It's much the most imaginative bit of software I've seen for a while, and may (once desktop versions are...
Oh wow, dude, that's actually really cool! Blimey, I hadn't realised it could do that. It's a lot more expensive than InfoRecall, mind... (sorry, that's just the whining of an inveterate CRIMPer who's...

I do remember those (sadly). I have, lurking in a drawer, no less than TWO Psion 5mx's - which are amazing machines. And my favourite of all, which I also lived on, much like your Amstrad: an AlphaSma...

Yup, mine's an NEC MobilePro, too - my HP and my LG machines both died off (see? I'm not just a CRIMPer, I'm a gadget freak!), but the NEC is still going strong. I like to joke it has the same benefit...
I was recently reminded - quite unexpectedly - of the advantages of a prog that has largely fallen from favour: Phantech's InfoRecall.
Most people regard UltraRecall as the natural successor to InfoR...

More damaging (to Microsoft) is their apparent intention to continue with per-device (as opposed to per-user) licensing. So you'll need multiple licences for e.g. MS Word to run it on multiple devices...
Has anyone gotten into the new Wunderlist?
12/21/2012
Yup, finally got on yesterday afternoon. It's nice. Not as nice as Todoist, but more cross-platform. Just. And more collaboration-focused. They've obviously taken a lot of time and trouble on the new ...

What you're describing sounds like a concordance function; there are a few specialised concordance editors out there. I can't remember what they're called offhand, but I'll see if I can dig up some re...

Interesting - I didn't realise Sense supported OPML (through a plugin). Closer look required... no! no!...

Mind you, if it's two laptops you've got (presumably running Windows) you could also simply use Dropbox (which is what I was doing before the Simplenote compatibility came up). You have to be a bit ca...

Hi Gary - yes, absolutely, that's why I'm so pleased with this latest version of CintaNotes. Simplenote (sorry, misspelled it before) is a popular text-synchronisation service based on tagged notes. L...

Gary sums it up perfectly. But I found I wasn't using it a huge amount until the latest version came out. The support for tabs (of which you can select one to be the default 'clippings' tab) is brilli...

I know many of you are enthusiastic outliner users on the iOS platform, devoted to such stalwarts as Carbonfin Outliner or OmniOutliner. But do cast another eye (if you haven't looked at it for a whil...
