Just to reiterate my findings about Personal Brain from the other thread:
- Having a lot of thoughts does not have any significant effect on performance that I have noticed. I have a glossary, for e...
Visual Foxpro. I can't work without it and, if I had to, I could replace many other programs with it.

Susanne,
If I may just butt in here, as I'm a heavy user of Personal Brain myself, mainly for creating web sites:
- Having a lot of thoughts does not have any significant effect on performance that ...

JB,
If anything that has an inherent use is bigger than Facebook (which, I agree, is next to pointless), it's rather a barbed compliment! But I'll leave that ...
To me at least, anybody who advoca...
JB,
I think you need to decide if you're selling software or propagating a new information management system. I thought initially it was the latter, but all I could really find on your page was info...
JB,
:-) There's a fine line between marketing and pomposity, in my eyes - I normally wouldn't hang around for long on a site that blew it's own trumpet quite that much!
I'm afraid I'm one of the "...

Ah, now this is a program that I can really appreciate! Especially for its close interoperability with dbf files and its storage of data in UTF-8 format (zipped text files). Just its ability to tran...

It must seem rather weird that some of us old fuddy duddies prefer old-fashioned writing implements, but there's a little method in our madness.
I don't use outliners (possibly the only person on t...

Thanks for the your typewriter ribbon supply response Gary. Many of those sales points are on the wrong side of the Atlantic for me, but the links do give me a place to start looking for supplies ove...

Possibly really off topic ..... I'd love to go back to using the 1950's manual typewriter that I learnt to type on, but I can't find any shop/online supplier that sells typewriter ribbons. Where do y...
Norton gave me no problems when I installed The Now Organizer.
It's a bit of a half program at the moment - it still needs a lot of development to get it to a decent level, if you ask me. No help fi...
Just to comment that I've experience Norton becoming over sensitive over the past few weeks, with it deleting quite harmless installations such as Personal Brain updates, so it's a distinct possibilit...
Powerpoint slide library

Thanks again for pointing out both Slideboxx and Zoom. They do indeed both fit most of my requirements. For the sake of completeness, these are my findings after some initial testing:
- Zoom has a ...

Thanks. I'll have another look at Slideboxx and investigate Zoom, and I'll let you know what I think.

Thanks Dominik. I actually already have and use SmartDraw VP. However, what I want to do is to build a library of the slides from existing Powerpoint presentations (about 20) into a single library, ...

Sorry, I should probably stop typing today ... that's GBP 280 per month. Maybe I am entering my dotage after all.
And Shaun - I see now that you're from slidebank.com .... I think you need to be mor...

Sorry, that should be thank you to Shaun as well!

Thanks Hugh. They're very coy about pricing ... which probably means it's aimed at rich corporates and therefore much too high. I wish I could find something like this at a reasonable price for the ...

After a quick look at Smereka TreeProjects it reminds me very much of Ariadne (in what it can do and how fast, rather than its look and feel), also now in the hands of a Ukrainian - http://www.prokarp...
Thanks for that! It's been a few years since I've used any Ashampoo products, so I downloaded it to test. My reference work has always crashed every word processing program I've ever tried it in exc...
I'm also giving Writing Outliner a thorough test and I'm not as positive about it as Dan. I'm looking at it as an option to move my main reference work (about 1600 pages if printed) out of Whizfolder...
