General Software Discussion / Re: General brainstorming for Note-taking software

« Last post by hornet on July 02, 2006, 05:42 PM »

Sorry, I did not notice it mentioned earlier - I read thru most of he posts - but here were many alright!

I currently have Info Select 7 (they are now up to version .

It is "visual" now  - although hot keys are still there.

Adding a note or a topic and searching is really fast. 

It also allows syncwith other computers - but I have not used it that way.

I was thinking about how long I have had it - and realise I must have purchased my first copy (vers 4) sometime about 1989.

Like all programs - I don't use a fraction of whats there - just what suits me.

While the whole idea about it is it's freeform nature - it falls short of Surfalator's ability to have more than one "file" open at one time.

Regards,

Harry.

True, the price nowadays is steep for Info Select....

But I thought it might give some more "ideas" to the forum.

In the meantime, I have downloaded surfalator and am on a steep learning curve..

So far I like it a lot!

I have been using Info Select for my note taking for the last 8 years or so.

http://www.miclog.com/is/index.shtml

It is a free form data base type program (with extras).

One of the features I like is the "transporter" which allows you highlight text in any program and transport it into info select.

I also like its ability o search for words within its database.

It has the ability for databases, spreadsheets, tables, calendars and even email (which I don't like).

I don't think it does all the things you have been discussing above, but it suits my needs.

Maybe another contender??
