Technology Overkill?

I’ve been reading Lifehacker for a while now. I really like the Getting Things Done (GTD) articles. Keith Robinson’s Getting to Done: How GTD made my Treo obsolete really made me think about how I use my Treo! Mind you, I am still using the little gadget, even though I feel like I am carrying too much stuff around with me. Having all those client phone numbers when in the pub can’t be a good thing.

Windows Information Organiser

Keeping large amounts of information together on a computer can be a complex business. I’ve read great reviews of both Yojimbo and NoteTaker, but they are both Mac-based products. If you know of anything similar for PC, please let me know in the comments.

Temptation

I am a PC kinda-guy. Well, I was a Unix admin at one point (very briefly) but after spending a whole night loading Linux from 80 discs at work I opted for the relative ease of an out-of-the-box PC at home. But I am tempted by an Apple. Mybe it’s the underlying Unix-ness of it all that is appealing. Maybe it’s that my Windows XP box doesn’t really live up to my expectations. A friend of mine says, “I believe the tide of reason is finally beginning to lather the unwashed masses” – can you tell he’s a Mac guy? But it’s true. I’ve heard of several people who have gone Mac.

So, I came across a link to Ken. Now Ken is is an Apple product manager and he has a weblog which is worth the read. Even for PC-heads like me. [link thanks]
