PersonalBrain 4 released 10/18/2007

Though I would have thought it would have been out of beta a long time ago, it seems that only today has PersonalBrain 4 been released - http://www.thebrain.com . Graham

IBM Lotus Symphony BETA - Free 10/17/2007

Thank you Ken. Quant: I am a database specialist and did weigh up whether to store the data in a traditional database form or in this text form. I asked my customers what they wanted and with one ex...

IBM Lotus Symphony BETA - Free 10/17/2007

At the risk of flogging this one to death, and just for the sake of completeness, my book does not contain multiple tables of contents, footnotes, multiple appendices, cross-referencing and so on. It...

IBM Lotus Symphony BETA - Free 10/16/2007

For me having IBM behind it is a disadvantage rather than an advantage. IBM took Lotus over when its software was competitive and let it all die. This looks like an attempt to resurrect the (slightl...

SnippetCenter 10/2/2007

Bits du Jour are featuring an information repository software today (2nd October 2007) called SnippetCenter, being sold at a heavy discount. I haven't come across is before myself. The URL: http://w...

Timeto PIM 9/26/2007

I have found that TimeTo is another of those programs which hides its power well and requires some work to winkle it out. Many task managers pile up lists of tasks, even if each would only take 5 m...

Mind Mapper Prices 9/14/2007

The legality of OEM software depends on the country you live in, but OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) software can never be bought seperately from hardware without breaking the software licence a...

UltraRecall stability problems? 8/25/2007

Interesting. Modern programs should be capable of serial processing commands if they can't handle them in parallel, but in any case, my errors occur even though I always wait for each command to (app...

UltraRecall stability problems? 8/24/2007

UltraRecall is built on top of a database, and it is inherent in all database products that data is saved as soon as the user moves off of a record. Keep and eye on the "save" icon and when it gets g...

Zoot Grows on You 8/21/2007

Thanks Stephen. I was aware of this (i.e. read about it in the help file), though I haven't yet got my head around it enough to try it! Stephen Zeoli wrote: > > >Graham Rhind wrote: >>I could put th...

Zoot Grows on You 8/21/2007

I have to agree with quant on this one. Zoot would be a fine information manager if information was only to be found in text form. My information isn't, so I can't use it as an information manager. ...

SQLNotes - A new Outliner 8/14/2007

SQL-Notes is one of the few packages I have downloaded and not immediately uninstalled. Though the developer compares the product a great deal with Zoot (its item window is reminiscent of Zoot), it s...

Corel WordPerfect Lightning - a simple note taking and file viewer 8/9/2007

Well, one good thing about it - it's free! It's quite feature-poor, but might be useful for people only requiring a basic note-taking and file-linking software. It's still in beta. A quick test (of ...

Impressions with Zoot32 7/31/2007

Having some spare time I also decided to look deeper into Zoot than I had done when I first treid it some years ago. I am also impressed by what it can do and its user-friendly interface and help sys...
