Weird new Mac outliner: Tree
2/17/2009
Chris, thanks for the heads-up. Very interesting app.
It's about $43 US according to Paypal. Note also that the included help is in Japanese.
A couple observations. It can hoist children into a ...
Steve,
I don't have extensive experience with either type of software, but I do have suggestions for each. Both are web services.

New Opera and Firefox 3

Quant,
Thanks for the info. The full crash is a bit disconcerting
F11 for full screen has been around on the PC and Linux versions of Firefox for quite some time. I use it regularly on my Eee PC 9...

Virtues and debilities of plain text
11/8/2007
Stephen,
I thought it _was_ an option in EditPad, my preferred text editor, but I can not find it; I must be thinking of something else. EditPad does not have smart select, paste, or drag.
I use an...

Whizfolders Deluxe
7/12/2007
Matt,
Thanks very much for the information. A couple hours ago, I went to the WhizFolders site and used my GoogleBar to search the site for the word "hoist", with no results. I'm glad to know it's ...
Bersonal Brain 4 Beta is now available
6/14/2007
I haven't tested PersonalBrain in years. It does seem more expensive than before, but it also seems much more powerful than before. I'll consider giving it a trial run; thanks for pointing it out!

OT: Desktop Shell
6/4/2007
Steve,
Do you mean you're considering replacing the application that manages your desktop and task bar (where the start menu lives)? In Unix, that's more or less the window manager (Gnome, KDE, etc....

Thanks for your detailed analysis.

Organising the organisers
4/4/2007
Graham,
Excellent question! I tend to have two outliners open all day: ActionOutline for general, more ephemeral notes, and UltraRecall for project management. As I create project-related documents...
Dominik,
Interesting question. Before I read all the responses, my answer was going to be UltraRecall, as it's got such a powerful mix of functionality.
As I read the responses to this point, the d...
MyInfo Vs TreePad
3/15/2007
Bob,
I had used TreePad for years before becoming frustrated about some annoying redraw bugs and application slowness even on a fast machine.
I tried MyInfo and was impressed with its excellent impo...
Knowlege Base discount
3/14/2007
I tested Topicscape a while back. Since it's really a 3D application, it needs some cpu and graphics horsepower. It's an interesting concept, but I found it very difficult to use - probably because ...
Thomas,
I agree; it feels rather polished for a beta. I only spent a few minutes with it last week, but liked what I saw.
I feel that to get the most out of the app, one would need to be familiar w...

Thomas,
Indeed you're correct. But since we saw other posts from you, I figured Chris had already granted you access, so I figured something was amiss.
Welcome!

Steve,
Thanks for the reference to The Journal. I have needed something to re-stimulate my journaling habit. I was using GemX's TexNotes the past few years for this purpose, but got bogged down by ...

In the thread "New Mind Mapping Software: Buzan's iMindMap", the forum says the last post is by Thomas, yet he doesn't show up on that thread's page.

Zoot News

Steve,
Thanks so much for the update. I trialed Zoot quite some time ago, and was discouraged by its antiquated appearance; I also didn't quite "get it" at the time. I'm eagerly awaiting this updat...
