- Yes, and they are extremely disorganized. In my search for a way to
- organize them, I recently happened upon a Macintosh program called
- Thought Pattern by Bananafish Software of San Francisco. It's sort of
- like a set of computerized index cards, where you enter bits and pieces
- of text and can cross-reference them whenever and however you want.
- I'm impressed by the demo, which runs reasonably fast on my PowerBook.
-
- My question is, does anyone have any experience with Thought Pattern?
- Also, does anyone know the company well enough to know
- if version 2.0 will really come out next month? I am holding off
- buying Thought Pattern, even though I'd like to have it now, because
- I'm not about to pay its already high price of $99 for the current
- version (1.3) only to have to pay for an upgrade after just a month
- or two.
-
- If anybody's interested, I'll try to dig up an address and phone
- number for Bananafish. I think they've even got an e-mail address,
- but I can't find it right now because I'm so disorganized (sob!).
