A bonus for me is that they are cross-platform - they have both Windows and Mac clients as well as a secure web site, and the data can sync between all of them. The basic version (including PDF support) is free; the premium version gives you more MB/month syncing and the ability to store any file type.

The pdfs that I needed to knit together were already created by another process and all I had to do was knit them together. A small class handles this for me and it has worked very well. First time I've used it. me, me, me

I have yet to find the "perfect" software for managing a large number of PDF documents. I had the best luck using two programs: Paperport[^] and iView Multimedia Pro (now Expression Media[^]). But they both had problems. With Paperport, I liked the visual interface (thumbnails) which helped me find my documents visually. But the older version I was using was strictly directory based. It didn't have a useful tagging interface so I could place documents into multiple categories. And the software never quite felt "finished" to me. There was a lot of needed functionality missing. Newer versions might have taken care of all these problems. I have not tried it lately. I loved iView Multimedia. It was really designed as a photo management system but it thumbnail-ed PDF files and I could take advantage of its excellent visual interface and all the cataloging features to manage my document collection. It was excellent. But it was bought out by Microsoft in 2006 and rebranded Expression Media (part of Expression Studio). I don't know if Microsoft maintained the PDF compatability. I haven't gotten around to trying it. If it does, fantastic. Expression Media is designed to manage all of your digital assets and Expression Studio creates all sorts of desktop and web content. They have a free trial, if you want to take a look at it. Enjoy, Robert C. Cartaino

Software Patents aren't really Software Patents. They're Algorithm Patents, or Process Patents. Copyright protects an exact copy, or derived copies. Patents protect Ideas or Processes. For example, one could copyright an image of a patent attorney being sunk at the bottom of a lake, but not patent it. One could also patent the compression used in said picture, but not the image created by it. -- Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?

I just wish it would transfer wireless cards through to it, rather than making them look like bog-standard ethernet connections.  But yeah there are some gripes with it, perhaps some have been sorted in v6 of it which I haven't tried yet.

Hi Bob, In that case, I have to punt. Jeff

Yes, but some sites like dotnetslackers disable the ability to block intellitext globally for that domain - most annoying that. That's where this plugin comes in handy. By the way I think CP handles this properly and I just wish other sites would do the same.

Oh, I almost forgot. From a technical viewpoint the Propeller chip from Parallax is interesting. Several people at HBR are playing with it and I scored a developer kit at the Embedded Systems Conference this week because I'm such a sterling fellow. ;P It's 8 32 bit cores on a single low cost chip. The only drawback in my mind is that there's no C/C++ support for it yet. The high level language is Spin but it's also programmable in assembler. http://www.parallax.com/[^]
