UberNote Newsletter - New Version 9/2/2010

Thanks for jumping into the group here - can we call you Uber for short? Just kidding! My ongoing concern with UN has been deletion of lines separating paragraphs when clipping from web pages. Is it ...

Critical View of Devon Think - or the Emperor Is Missing Some Clothes 9/2/2010

My recent - and temporary - foray into the Mac world has left me convinced the Mac coasts on its laurels and is oversold, at least in terms of its information/outliner programs. Whatever complaints I ...

Visual representation of data 9/2/2010

Can't help but comment when I see references to Connected Text that when I tried it out last time I found the help files unintelligible, and a vid made by a prof on how to use CT for references and re...

Visual representation of data 9/1/2010

Quant, very interesting. How would you assess practicality of such software? It reminded me of The Personal Brain - of which I am never quite sure how helpful the GUI is. The most recent date I coul...

UberNote Newsletter - New Version 8/31/2010

That's a real oversight on UN's part. dan7000 wrote: >Daly, I noticed that their list of supported browsers does not include Chrome: >http://www.ubernote.com/webnote/pages/checklist.aspx

UberNote Newsletter - New Version 8/31/2010

A further observation on UberNote - it appears to have problems playing nicely with Chrome. For example, the upper part of the main window gets "lost" in the sense I have no way to retrieve it through...

UberNote Newsletter - New Version 8/31/2010

UberNote continues to develop as an alternative to EverNote. Here's a url to their announcement of a new version: http://blog.ubernote.com/2010/08/august-26th-update.html The UN blog also annouced us...

Goodbye Evernote 2.2 8/28/2010

Alex, the Surfulater feature I like is that "nested related tags are automatically show." in the tree, and do not have to be manually set up as with EN. The way Neville has set this up it seems it is...

Cloud comouting 8/27/2010

True, except there are many more points of access to the cloud - virtually any computer anywhere which is connected to the net. Cassius wrote: >Rather reminds me of dumb terminals and mainframes.

Goodbye Evernote 2.2 8/27/2010

From a marketing perspective, I think time has shown EN made the right decision going to the cloud, and becoming a multi-platform product. Its market share has rocketed, and it has a developed a lot o...

Mac Saga Ending 8/14/2010

Pierre, thanks for the advice. I ended up getting an Asus; battery is said to be good, though not as good as the Acer you mentioned. Cheers, Daly Pierre Paul Landry wrote: >>I am going to Staples ...

Mac Saga Ending 8/14/2010

Domink, thanls for the post. Good advice. I got an Intel Core i3 machine - an Asus, with a nice keyboard, 15.6 inch monitor, 4 gig RAM. I like it so far. I have MyInfo up and running, and am gradu...

Mac Saga Ending 8/12/2010

Thanks, Cassius. I have tried out, sometime last year, MyBase. I prefer both EverNote and Surfulater. Daly Cassius wrote: >Daly, > >If you save a lot of Web pages or snippets from them, you might b...

Mac Saga Ending 8/12/2010

Steve, you're welcome. In terms of word processing, though, I found the Mac outliners/information managers actually behind the Windows programs. For example, list features were sometimes not included...

Mac Saga Ending 8/12/2010

Thanks to everyone who responded to my various posts about the Mac and my experiences with the software. The Mac will be history by the end of the week; I am going to Staples this afternoon to look a...

DevonThink Not Opening Data Base 8/10/2010

The e book on Devon, of which Andreas sent me a copy, does a much better job of describing how tags work. This book reads like it is written by a real technical writer who knows his stuff. I like a h...

DevonThink Not Opening Data Base 8/10/2010

Thanks, Tom. Out of what you referred to me to, I realized that the program automatically creates a tag out of a group name. So I went back to the program, and saw that tags I had made, which were d...

NotaBene 9 8/10/2010

I'm curious why you are not using NB9 as much as you have earlier versions. Daly Mark Fuss wrote: >If this post in not appropriate, I would ask that the moderator please delete it, as I do >not wan...

Profound Disappointment 8/10/2010

Good question, Steve. As I said (I think) in another post yesterday, I was expecting too much perhaps, and had been taken in by some of the glowing claims made by developers and people who were saying...

Profound Disappointment 8/10/2010

Hugh, thanks for your post. Re manuals and the quality of the writing: To me a manual is poorly written if it fails to give the level of detail necessary to get a feature to work correctly. Writers w...

DevonThink Not Opening Data Base 8/10/2010

I've just spent 40 minutes going through the downloaded documentation for DevonThink trying to find out why sometimes tags appear under the tag group with a tag icon, and why sometimes they do not sho...

DevonThink Not Opening Data Base 8/10/2010

Problem solved. I got the 30-day free license. The initial download stopped working *before* it was supposed to according to information provided by the company in the first instance. I have severa...

DevonThink Not Opening Data Base 8/10/2010

After I sent an email to DevonThink support, I went back to the program, and realized the trial had somehow stopped because a lot of features were just faded out. So I checked the site, and found out ...

DevonThink Not Opening Data Base 8/10/2010

Does anyone know why DevonThink wouldn't open a data base I had previously created? As I try to calmly, and rationally, decide whether to keep my new Mac, this doesn't help. Daly
