I've long been fascinated by 'personal information managers'. I've started with DOS 'InfoSelect'. It had very fast search and flexible note taking with some calculation capability. In Windows, I've toured through a few shareware note takers, but currently concentrate on Evernote for more more serious use, but I need a document manager and annotater. Evernote will annotate PDFs, I want something with a different flavour. I'm dabbling with Zoot from Zoot Software. and InfoQube, a Canadian package; quite sophisticated and echoing the old EccoPro. Zoot is my current top of the list to trail sucking in my 20,000 or so papers, references and articles. So far so good, but I'm really looking forward to what its automation can do for sorting and tagging my collection.
