What's the Best? / Re: What's the best Journal (Diary) software?

I've been using LifeJournal (www.lifejournal.com) for years and I'm totally hooked. (This is LifeJournal, NOT LiVeJournal.) It's one program I can't live without. It's wide range of features let you start up with the most simple of features --title, date, time. And then as I've gotten to know the program I see the richness and depth of the software. Initially I started to use it for random thoughts and feelings of the day. Over time I use it for just about everything: business ideas, personal everyday stuff, writing about past memories/stories that appear randomly, letters to myself. It's unique--encouraging to help you write often--see the Daily Pulse ( a quick and simple rating system. You create up to 10 different parameters that you want to keep track of.) This info is seamlessly integrated into the journal entries and you can see the graph of these Daily Pulse values--and open journal entries from the graph (very clever!). What I find most helpful about the program is that you can begin to make sense of things--see trends and make changes--that I might not have seen if I didn't go back and look at my writings. The search feature is easy to use. The program is generally really well laid out.
I'm not a compulsive journal writer, rather I write when I feel like it, but I must say that LifeJournal makes it easy for me to write and write consistently. There's a demo you can try out so you can try before you buy--something I insist on before buying software.
