Zoot News

This is great. I have always loved Zoot, and only moved away from it when I ran into some of its limitations. In particular, I used it to keep some order with my Outlook email. Zoot tamed that unruly ...

I had the good fortune to be able to use Together on a MacBook Air that I was trying out as part of a pilot program at work. It is much like Devonthink and Eagefiler, but I found the implementation of...
When I was on a PC, I was a big fan of Zoot. I had downloaded it and installed it on the recommendation of James Fallows in an issue of the Atlantic. It worked pretty much as advertised, and I used it...

I just took a look at this online. It looks like it would be a useful piece of software. It appears to link together different pieces of information graphically.
Has anyone given this a try?

Still using my MacBook and loving it.
I didn't try all of the different software that has been discussed. I have tried Yojimbo, Devonthink Pro, and Eaglefiler. I bought licenses for Devonthink and E...
Cassius: thanks for your reply. I had not considered Mybase, though I have heard of it. I took a quick look at it and it looks good. I have a couple of questions.
First, can you import directories o...

Outliners and Spotlight

I have been using Eaglefiler and Devonthink for a while now, and have found Devonthink to be a little bit better than Eaglefiler. Partly this is due to my lack of abiity to use Applescript, and the nu...

Becoming obsessed with the idea of a mac
11/27/2007
I just posted in the thread on Windows vs Mac OS X, but I have a short break before my next meeting so I figured I would chime in here.
I switched to the Mac because of Devonthink, Eaglefiler and Aqu...
Folks:
I have never been one to get involved in OS wars. OSes seldom drive computer purchases, applications software does. I have always liked the Mac a little better than Windows, mostly because of ...
Well, the Macbook and I are getting along pretty well. I am having to learn some new things, but all in all it's still feeling pretty good.
I have been focusing my time on two programs:Devonthink Pro...
