Remember InfoRecall?

Steve, thanks for the heads up. Prompted by your message I did a quick search for InfoStore which I remembered since similarly older days... It is no longer being sold, and the company is more involve...

Retrospective outlining

Microsoft's modest and free Stickysorter is another tool that can provide this kind of virtual corkboard. I used it recently for group brainstorming sessions and it came in quite handy.

Graphing the history of philosophy
