Yup, once you buy something on the Play Store, it's yours forever.Thanks for the confirmation!-Deozaan (February 09, 2015, 06:52 PM)
There are some possible exceptions: Consumable in-app purchases (IAPs)Consumables? Please can you give an example?-Deozaan (February 09, 2015, 06:52 PM)
eleman beat me to it. I have purchased apps on the Google Play store once and have been able to use the purchases on both my phone and my tablet simultaneously.Just to be perfectly clear; does that mean that if I uninstall a utility purchased through the Google Play Store, either through the Play Store itself or via Settings, I can come back at some later date and reinstall it without further payment?-Innuendo (February 04, 2015, 10:07 PM)
i really do highly recommend Wiznote as a worthy successorIs that the Chinese one that's been mentioned on DC before? wiz.cn?-superboyac (January 29, 2015, 05:07 PM)
It may seem odd, but I have never really got on with any single pane outliner - though I do have Outline 4d (a very particular type of program which again seems to have escaped development in the recent aeon).Since single-pane outlining became a more common feature of word processors, there doesn't seem to have been much development in free-standing ones. Pity.-Dormouse (January 17, 2015, 04:23 PM)
Had a quick look at Inspiration. Seems most like a mindmapper with an outline view to me.It did fairly well in John Buckman's very old round-up of outliners, but times have moved on...-Dormouse (January 17, 2015, 04:23 PM)
I tend to find the rigid structures far too limiting and they never work with anything I'm doing. I seem to be able to do any number of things in TreeDB at the same time which is what I usually need.You must have a complex mind to deal with complex needs-Dormouse (January 17, 2015, 04:23 PM)
It's still the best thing I've used for clipping from the web. RightNote probably gives a slightly better rendition of the web page, but tends to be fragile on my system, and in any case I usually just want the content, without worrying too much about the exact appearance.as someone who's only ever used OEMs for desktop machines, and has a Win7 pc and a Win8.1 laptop - I'd go for a pc without OS, and a windows 7 oem. It gets supported for another 5 years and it might not get any better (versions 8/10).
FWIW you can get multilingual OEMs (usually DELL) on ebay.de for less than 30€-tomos (January 25, 2015, 12:44 PM)
What I like about TreeDBNotes for writing is the very full toolbar (I have all options open - and the styles at the bottom), the extensive right click menu, and the ability to write/edit in a pop out without all the PIM clutter.I'm wondering whether at heart you'd prefer a single-pane outliner, if you could find one you liked? Inspiration, perhaps?-Dormouse (January 08, 2015, 05:48 AM)
Actually that's a cotton bale compressor.Hence the quote marks - I thought it looked a bit technical for a hut-Arizona Hot (January 07, 2015, 02:21 PM)
It seems that the program lacks a calendar, keeping it out of the possibility of being the elusive note program that functions as a full PIM.Astonsoft's EssentialPIM (EPIM) didn't float your boat? I'm wondering whether it's now more future-proof and versatile than some others, because Astonsoft offer not only standard and portable versions for the PC, including free versions, but compatible versions for Android and iOS. Given the popularity of smartphones and tablets, that looks a sound move.

Or do you have to go to an Outlook-style PIM or a Calendar program to try to get that?
Even though these are all weak on notes and/or database.-Steven Avery (January 06, 2015, 02:47 AM)
Ugh. That gives me no confidence in the program. One for shelfware at best. Are they a one-man-band on a hobby project that didn't generate enough income to warrant, or enable, support?None.

I'll have to try is a bootup one, because the first thing I do is open trandesk, then SC Captor, then Stickies, then task manager. It would be nice not to have to do all that by hand.Batch file? Or one of the startup managers that already exist, like WinPatrol Plus?-TaoPhoenix (January 02, 2015, 08:53 AM)
I thought we were in this thread: NANY 2015 Release - Splat (Simple Program Launching and Termination)We got some snow last nightAmazing. I thought you'd converted it to monochrome until I scrolled about two-thirds of the way across, and saw the red "hut."-Arizona Hot (January 01, 2015, 05:01 PM)

I hadn't heard about the launch or discounts either.Quoting Bret Lowry's e-mail to me:-Dormouse (December 23, 2014, 10:12 AM)
We started sending emails in batches of 2,500 using the most recent addresses, but were forced to stop when spam reports reached a level of higher than 1 per 1,000 emails. That brought us back to early 2010. [...] The next release of WinPatrol will give us a much better way of notifying everyone of important news.So if you purchased before 2010, you probably didn't get an e-mail.
according to their home page, it's a 70% discountI paid at the 70% discount - and Ruiware refunded the difference between that and the original price of 80% off, because I hadn't heard about the initial offer - extraordinary customer care.-Innuendo (December 22, 2014, 07:35 AM)
